Since the June primary election, DCAR’s REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) Trustees have continued to vet candidates to understand their vision and priorities for Washington, D.C. The member-led committee was moved by the ideas the endorsed candidates shared.
This election is a watershed moment for the District. We are moving into an endemic phase of COVID-19, and we’re facing pivotal challenges as we emerge from the pandemic. The past two years deeply underscored housing’s fundamental necessity.
Washington is one of the major epicenters of the housing affordability crisis; owning a home is becoming unobtainable for more and more District residents. Without a concentrated push to substantially increase housing supply, the American dream will continue to fade for many.
Additional details about each candidate can be found on DCAR’s website.
