Thank you for your interest in serving TCRA through committee volunteerism. Please choose any/all committees you are interested in serving on in 2026. Most committees will require a 1-hour in-person meeting per month.

Below are the descriptions of the standing committees and the work they encompass:

Governmental Affairs & RPAC. Meets on the 4th Friday of Each Month

This committee serves numerous functions in two equal and opposite arms: policy (advocacy) and fundraising (RPAC).

The policy arm of the committee is responsible for identifying and supporting candidates for political office and/or political issues that confirm issues positions taken by REALTORS®. This committee is also responsible for keeping the membership informed of specific political issues that impact the real estate industry. This committee will facilitate organized participation in and support of REALTOR® legislative/advocacy goals at all levels of government.

The fundraising arm of the committee (RPAC) promotes the election of pro-REALTOR^® candidates within Washington and across the United States. The purpose of RPAC is clear: REALTORS^® raise and spend money to elect candidates who understand and support their interests. The money to accomplish this comes from voluntary contributions made by REALTORS^®. These are not members’ dues; this is money given freely by REALTORS^® in recognition of how important campaign fundraising is to the political process. RPAC enables REALTORS^® to support candidates that support the issues that are important to their profession and livelihood.
