NC REALTORS® Voted! And It Made a Difference
As the dust settles from Tuesday’s Primary Elections, one thing is clear: NC REALTORS® voted and it showed.
Thanks to your support, 97.7% of REALTOR®-supported candidates for state and federal office won their respective elections. That includes candidates running for Council of State offices and seats in the North Carolina General Assembly supported through NC REALTORS® PAC. NAR also supports candidates for federal races in North Carolina (US Senate and US House of Representatives) through the federal REALTORS® Political Action Committee.
In each election, NC REALTORS® PAC supports candidates who support REALTOR® issues. Your investments make this support possible so the Trustees strive to be good stewards of the trust you place in them. Under the REALTOR® Party banner, we support candidates in a nonpartisan manner, looking at their stance on issues we care about, not their political affiliation. As one of the largest political action committees in the state, we have been successful in multiple election cycles, and this year is no different.
U.S. Senate and Congress
At the federal level, NAR supported a candidate in one U.S. Senate race—Thom Tillis—who won the Republican primary—and 10 congressional races through the REALTOR® Political Action Committee (RPAC).
All 10 REALTOR®-supported Congressional candidates now move on to the general election (100% success rate).

David Price—District 4
Virginia Foxx—District 5
David Rouzer—District 7

Council of State
At the state level, in addition to legislative races, NC REALTORS® PAC considers support for those seeking Council of State offices every four years. During the primary, both NC REALTORS® PAC-supported candidates were successful in their elections.
Roy Cooper (D)—Governor (Funding approved by 2019 NC REALTORS PAC Trustees)
Josh Dobson (R)—Commissioner of Labor
NC Senate
For NC Senate races, NC REALTORS® PAC supported 30 candidates for office and all of them will be moving on to the general election (100% success rate).
