The Alabama Realtors Political Action Committee (ARPAC), a political arm of the Alabama Association of Realtors, recently announced its endorsements of candidates seeking election to state and federal legislative offices, as well as for candidates running for statewide officer positions.
In a statement announcing the endorsements, ARPAC trustees chair Margi Ingram advised that the endorsed candidates would serve to strengthen Alabama’s real estate industry.
“We are confident these candidates will work alongside REALTORS® to ensure the continued growth of home and property ownership in Alabama,” said Ingram. “Together, we can work to protect and further advance Alabama’s thriving real estate industry and the communities, developments, and businesses that benefit from it.”
According to Alabama REALTORS CEO Jeremy Walker, the candidates supported by the association understand the vital role that the real estate industry plays in the state’s economy.
