TREPAC
TREPAC is a voluntary, nonprofit, unincorporated group whose membership consists of REALTORS® and others interested in protecting the free rights of property ownership in the United States. As a political action committee, TREPAC complies with all federal and state campaign-investment laws. The voluntary investments TREPAC receives are used to support candidates for federal, state, and local office who demonstrate their support for the preservation of real property rights and the real estate profession.
Why invest in TREPAC?
The political action committee is insurance to protect your livelihood and industry. During the next year, many issues affecting real estate will be debated on the local, national, and state levels. Getting involved in TREPAC will ensure that the REALTOR® voice is heard by City Council and County Commissioner’s Court, in Congress, at the Capitol.
Where does your money go?
All funds eligible to be invested in candidates in political races are expended for that purpose. Thirty percent of the annual investments received by TREPAC, until quota is achieved, is forwarded to NAR’s REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) for use in federal campaigns in Texas and throughout the country. In this manner, TREPAC participates in the political process at the national level, where a multitude of legislative issues threaten real property rights and the real estate industry daily. Of the balance of TREPAC’s funds, 50% will be invested in candidates for state legislative office and certain statewide offices in Texas. The final 20% is designated for candidates in local races as requested by the local association.
