Current Legislative Priorities
Housing Production
Ensure an adequate supply and diversity of housing, for purchase, throughout Clark County and Southwest Washington. Support advocacy efforts and regulatory change to enhance affordability and increase housing production.
Property Rights
Preserve property rights, vesting, and allowable uses for private property owners and users. Where property rights need to be impacted for the common good, the public sector must provide ample justification and compensation. We aim to protect private property rights so individual residents can continue to enjoy their version of the American Dream.
Public Safety
Support efforts to make our community safer, including investment in services and law enforcement capacity. Strive to make a safe environment for residents and businesses, long term, so Clark County can continue to be a highly desirable place to live, work, and play.
For REALTORS, protecting private property rights, strategic land use, and business issues is not just important – it’s fundamental to our profession.
Private property rights are at the heart of what we do. They enable us to represent clients effectively, facilitating transactions that form the basis of our industry.
Strategic land use is crucial for shaping communities. REALTORS play a pivotal role in advising clients and policymakers on how best to utilize land for residential, commercial, and industrial purposes. Smart land use not only enhances property values but also creates attractive, sustainable neighborhoods.
Moreover, business issues such as fair regulations, taxation, and zoning affect our livelihood. By advocating for policies that support the real estate industry, we ensure our ability to serve clients and contribute to economic growth. In essence, protecting these aspects is not just in our interest; it’s our responsibility to ensure the well-being of our clients and the communities we serve.
RPAC
CCAR’s advocacy efforts are powered by RPAC, the REALTOR Political Action Committee. Investing in RPAC is a direct investment in our profession and the future of real estate. The PAC amplifies our collective voice, enabling us to advocate for policies that protect property rights, promote responsible homeownership, and support a vibrant real estate market. By contributing to the PAC, REALTOR members are empowered to engage with lawmakers, influence legislation, and champion issues vital to our industry.
Through this investment, we ensure that real estate remains a thriving, dynamic sector, benefiting not only REALTORS but also the communities we serve. It’s a strategic way to safeguard our livelihoods, protect property values, and uphold the principles that underpin our profession. In essence, supporting the Realtor PAC is an investment in our future and the continued strength of the real estate industry.
