REALTORS® Represent at DNC, RNC, posted by Pat

I can’t tell you how proud I’ve felt these past weeks to be a REALTOR® and an American, as I attended the Democratic National Convention in Denver and watched the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.

No matter what side of the isle you cast your vote, I think you will agree that the process and the pageantry and the rhetoric and momentum were palatable everywhere.  Hope for our economy – hope for our education system – hope for our health care system – and, yes, hope for the real estate markets across our nation -- were the buzz at both political party conventions.

Having the opportunity to meet the legislators and their staff members to discuss our REALTOR® Party issues and agenda was valuable and important for moving forward our priorities for the next four years. 

Of course, our fabulous staff members in Washington, D.C., are bringing your legislators up to date on our issues all year long – but it was most evident at both the Democratic Convention and the Republican Convention that we are well taken care of.  The professionalism of our staff and their knowledge of OUR issues is what makes them the premier lobbying team in D.C.  Carry on for the REALTOR® Party! -- Pat V. Combs, 2008 Immediate Past President
