Help us establish a firm foundation for our industry
Constructing a cornerstone.
The Louisiana REALTORS® Political Action Committee (LARPAC) protects your livelihood by ensuring like-minded officials who understand the importance of your industry are elected and by influencing the outcome of key real estate issues at the state and local levels. The elected officials LARPAC supports work alongside your Louisiana REALTORS® advocates to drive favorable outcomes on legislation that directly affects your business. How exactly does LARPAC go about doing that? See below:

Why is LARPAC Important?
A contribution to LARPAC is the best investment a REALTOR® can make for their business. Your investment helps ensure candidates who understand the importance of our industry and property ownership rights are elected to office. It is extremely important that our elected officials understand and value the real estate industry and make decisions while in office that will not harm the industry.
Louisiana REALTORS® has established one political action committee – the Louisiana REALTORS® Political Action Committee. LARPAC is governed by a Board of Trustees made up of REALTORS® from all over Louisiana. Members participate in LARPAC at the local level by forming political action teams that fundraise and provide insight on local political affairs to LARPAC. Referred to as PATs, each PAT falls under LARPAC’s umbrella rather than the local REALTOR® association. To view all LARPAC Trustees, click here.
