When it comes to protecting the rights of property owners and real estate professionals, Illinois REALTORS® members make a big impact on their own futures through advocacy.
As Alex Finke, Illinois REALTORS® Manager of Advocacy Programs, said during the state association’s virtual Winter Meetings, when members act, the REALTOR® voice is impossible to ignore.
Four ways you can be a REALTOR® advocate:
- respond to Calls For Action;
- invest in the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC);
- serve on committees;
- become a liaison to members of Congress and the Illinois General Assembly.
REALTOR® 2020 advocacy successes, included winning election results for 39 Illinois House candidates and 19 Illinois Senate candidates.
Finke also provided some behind-the-scenes analysis of polling data and an overview of plans for the Federal Political Coordinators and State Legislative Consultants in 2021.
“We can’t do this without you,” said Finke.
