What Is the REALTOR® Party?
Non-partisan advocacy. We are not Republican and we are not Democrat — we are the REALTOR® Party. We are not red and we are not blue — we are unified in REALTOR® Party purple.
Our business is shaped by public policy every day at all levels of government — federal, state and local. The REALTOR® Party ensures your voice remains strong and effective.
The REALTOR® Party advocates on issues impacting the real estate industry, real property and your business:
- Enhancing transparency in transactions
- Reducing property taxes
- Protecting property rights
- Limiting REALTOR® liability
Political advocacy is about protecting our profession and property rights. And because of your involvement in political advocacy, the WRA is the most effective voice in Wisconsin for homeownership and private property rights.
As the REALTOR® Party, we work together to protect our business, clients, customers and the real estate industry from harmful legislation and unnecessary regulation.
You can positively
affect real estate-related issues in Wisconsin, including the WRA's Direct
Giver program or RPAC, the REALTORS® Political Action Committee.
Direct Giver
The WRA Direct Giver program, referred to under state law as the conduit program, provides an alternative to an RPAC investment for members who:
- Wish to retain full control and direction over who will receive their political contributions.
- Wish to give personal contributions to candidates for local and state elections and at the same time benefit organized real estate and the WRA.

RPAC
Also known as the REALTORS® Political Action Committee. A PAC is a legal means by which interested individuals with common goals, like a trade association, band together for the purposes of political action.
The best way to positively impact issues such as property taxes and protecting the rights of property owners is through RPAC, a real estate professional's vehicle for political action.

The REALTOR® Party in action
At REALTOR® & Government Day (RGD) in 2026, nearly 500 REALTOR® members gathered at the state Capitol to turn housing data into real conversations.
REALTORS® shared firsthand stories about limited housing supply, rising property taxes, and the real-world impact these challenges are having on homeowners, renters, employers and communities across Wisconsin. Those conversations helped put
faces and experiences behind the numbers.
The day showed that progress is possible. Increasing housing supply and pursuing meaningful property tax relief remain critical steps toward creating more attainable homes, stronger communities and a healthier real estate market.
This is the REALTOR® Party turning momentum into meaningful action.
