What Is RPAC? How the REALTOR® Party Protects Kentucky Homeowners

If you have ever bought or sold a home in Kentucky, your transaction was shaped by laws and policies you may never have noticed. Behind the scenes, the REALTORS® Political Action Committee—known as RPAC—works to protect homeownership and property rights at the local, state, and federal levels. Here is what RPAC is and why it matters to every Kentucky homeowner.

What Is RPAC?

Founded in 1969, RPAC is funded entirely through voluntary contributions from REALTORS®. It supports candidates and public policies that defend private property rights, expand housing opportunity, and keep homeownership affordable. Importantly, RPAC is non-partisan—it focuses on the issues that matter to current and future homeowners rather than any one political side.

How RPAC Protects Homeowners

• Defending the mortgage interest deduction so owning a home stays affordable.
• Protecting private property rights against overreach and unnecessary regulation.
• Fighting new taxes and fees that would raise the cost of buying or selling.
• Supporting housing supply and affordability initiatives in communities like ours.

Why It Matters in Kentucky

From property tax policy in Frankfort to federal tax law in Washington, the decisions made by lawmakers directly affect what you pay to own and sell a home. RPAC ensures that REALTORS®—the professionals who understand the local market—have a seat at the table when those decisions are made. That advocacy helps keep Eastern Kentucky a place where homeownership remains within reach.
