The Illinois REALTORS® 18 Federal Political Coordinators (FPCs) and its leadership team gathered in Washington, D.C. this week for the National Association of REALTORS® Legislative Meetings & Expo and to meet with federally elected officials from Illinois.

FPCs are assigned to either individual Illinois senators or state representatives with the mission to build year-round working relationships and become valuable resources to lawmakers. FPCs strive to help members of Congress better understand issues that affect real estate and the rights of private property owners.

Illinoisians elect two senators and 16 representatives.
