Did someone say RPAC?

PACs have been around since 1944 when the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) formed the first one to raise money for the re-election of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Today there are thousands of PACs nationwide, with more than 1,500 right here in Florida. Local REALTOR® associations in Florida speak with one voice through RPAC.
