Bonita Springs-Estero REALTORS® has once again secured the prestigious RPAC Triple Crown Award. This coveted accolade—reserved for associations that not only meet but exceed their fundraising goals while achieving high member participation—marks yet another milestone in our legacy of advocacy excellence.

This year, Florida Realtors PAC—recognized nationally by the National Association of REALTORS®—achieved impressive wins in 2024. Florida Realtors not only surpassed their state-specific RPAC fundraising goals by over 20% but also set a new record with a participation rate exceeding 40%. Their success in meeting the major investor and President's Circle criteria has solidified Florida's position as a leader in political advocacy, ensuring that pro-REALTOR candidates have the support they need at local, state, and national levels.

2024 Wins & 2025 RPAC Goals: A National Effort for Our Industry's Future

2024 RPAC Wins:
Record Fundraising: Florida Realtors PAC exceeded its target by over 20%, demonstrating an unwavering commitment from members to support pro-REALTOR candidates. Unprecedented Participation: With more than 40% of members actively contributing, Florida set a new benchmark in member engagement. Meeting Key Milestones: The state met major investor and President’s Circle goals, further validating its effectiveness in influencing public policy.

2025 RPAC Goals:
Looking ahead, both Florida Realtors and NAR have set ambitious targets for 2025. These include:

Boosting Contributions: An additional 15% increase in voluntary contributions is targeted, ensuring even greater resources are available for advocacy. Elevating Participation: The aim is to maintain—or exceed—a member participation rate above 40%, reinforcing the strength of our collective voice. Strengthening Advocacy Impact: By channeling these enhanced contributions, the overarching goal remains to elect pro-REALTOR candidates and protect homeownership rights—thus ensuring our industry continues to thrive in an evolving legislative landscape.
