DAR PAC Trustees Endorse Independent Expenditure Involvement for REALTOR® Party Candidates:
The Trustees met and reviewed the 2008 General Assembly races and voted to support REALTOR

DAR will also work with the local associations to encourage individual fundraisers and other election activity for candidates who support our issues.
