After careful consideration, the Government Affairs committee for Spokane REALTORS® has made endorsement in State, Local and Federal races. The committee looked at track records for voting and real estate, along with recommendations from NAR and Washington REALTORS®. In a few races, the committee chose to wait until after the primary election.
It is important to note that candidates are selected entirely on real estate issues. While other factors often go into an individual choice on the ballot, the committee’s charge is to select those candidates that best represent the values and issues facing Spokane REALTORS®.
