GLAR wants you to GET OUT AND VOTE by November 3rd!
This year is an important election season where many critical races will be taking place with the potential to alter the political landscape and impact your business transactions in our region. During the summer your and Local Candidate Recommendation Committee (LCRC) and Government Affairs Committee (GAC) has been hard at work meeting with and interviewing candidates to endorse in the upcoming November 3rd General Election.
These candidates were vetted through a thorough process with our GAC, LCRC and Board of Directors (Board). Each endorsed candidate must have submitted a candidate questionnaire and were interviewed by our GAC.
- Our candidate questionnaire starts the process for our GAC members vet the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate after the interview.
- GAC members are polled to get a pulse on who they prefer as the candidate that best fits the pillars of the REALTOR® PARTY in protecting small businesses, increasing housing production, increasing homeownership opportunities and protecting private property rights.
- This poll is then shared by our LCRC where they continue vetting the candidates to look at their political viability and electability. Our LCRC makes a recommendation to our Board to endorse a candidate.
- Our Board makes the final decision for GLAR to officially endorse a candidate
Remember to return your vote-by-mail ballot by mail with prepaid postage postmarked on or before November 3 OR in-person to a secure ballot drop box, voting location, or your county elections office by 8pm on November 3. You may also vote in-person on November 3rd.
