The NC REALTORS are one of the biggest PACs in North Carolina's state legislature.

Last year, the NC REALTORS spent nearly half a million dollars on campaign contributions to politicians in North Carolina’s state legislature (and much more to local candidates across the state). NC REALTORS says it’s “non-partisan” – yet the large majority of those contributions go to Republicans.

That means NC REALTORS has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars – funded by REALTORS’ contributions – to radical-right politicians who are passing sweeping abortion bans, racist partisan gerrymanders, weakening North Carolina’s gun safety laws and defunding our schools.

Are these REALTOR values?

Are they yours?

Is this what REALTORS want?

We don’t think so, either.

The NC REALTORS are a member-based organization. That means your voice – and your support – really matters.

Tell the leaders of NC REALTORS to stop funding radical right-wing extremism in our legislature:

Andrea Bushnell, CEO: abushnell@ncrealtors.org

Mark Zimmerman, SVP of External Affairs: mzimmerman@ncrealtors.org

Mandy Lowe, VP of Member Engagement: mlowe@ncrealtors.org

Remember what Grandma said: honey catches more flies than vinegar. We ask that you be respectful and polite – but also firm – in your outreach to NC REALTOR leaders.

And if NC REALTORS won’t pull their contributions to radical politicians, perhaps it’s time to pull your contributions to the NC REALTORS PAC.

Remember: it’s your money. And NC REALTORS is your organization, too. With your help, NC REALTORS can reflect the values and ethical core that the organization models for itself. But only if REALTORS speak up.

Help build progress for North Carolina.
