Advocacy

SCRAR advocates for our members in local government to create an environment that promotes home ownership and allows real estate professionals to conduct business without being burdened by onerous rules, regulations, and ordinances. Policy, Politics, and Public Affairs are the three areas in which we work.

POLICY
We collaborate with local elected officials and their staff to advocate sound public policy that protects the interests of our members. In addition, our collaboration with local governments serves as the first line of defense against potentially detrimental laws.

POLITICS
We work to identify and support political candidates who understand and support REALTOR® priorities.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

We plan and implement effective grassroots campaigns within our community to increase the visibility of REALTORS® and our priorities.

The advocacy efforts of SCRAR are overseen by Kim Clark, our Government Affairs Director. Kim provides timely and objective advice to the Association Board of Directors about the advocacy of local government issues and proposed legislation that will impact REALTORS® and our communities. The Association Board of Directors interviews advocates and opponents of local ballot initiatives, and with input from our GAD, determines which measures to support, oppose or abstain from taking positions. The same process is used to fund local candidate campaigns using the local portion of RPAC funds.

To play, press and hold the enter key. To stop, release the enter key.

RPAC Investment

The REALTOR® Party is a powerful voice for the real estate community in New Mexico and the nation.

The REALTOR® Party is a powerful alliance of REALTORS® and REALTOR® Associations working to advance public policies and candidates that build strong communities, protect property interests, and promote a vibrant business environment.

For more than 50 years, the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) has been one of the strongest and most successful advocacy organizations in the nation. And there’s one reason for that: REALTORS® like you. RPAC recognizes that an industry that shies away from politics is an industry whose future is unstable and uncertain. Your voluntary investments in RPAC earn us a seat at the table with legislative and policy decision-makers on Capitol Hill, statehouses, and city halls across the country. Your continued support and engagement allow us to shape the size, scope, and success of the real estate industry for REALTORS® and business, property, and homeowners alike. Together, we’re protecting the future of real estate in America.

Out of EVERY $1 invested in RPAC, 70 cents stays within New Mexico!

We advocate for the interests of homeowners, businesses, and the real estate sector as a whole, not just REALTORS®. Your RPAC investment assists us in funding campaigns to tackle legislation that is bad for homeowners and your real estate business. RPAC helps elect public officials that are REALTOR® champions.
