Texas REALTORS® Put Their Grassroots to Work in Statewide Primaries

“When Texas REALTORS^® vote, Texas REALTORS® win.” That’s the slogan on the Texas Association’s web site — and it’s also exactly what happened in the statewide primaries this year. The 80,000-member Texas Association worked with their 89 local associations to endorse 99 candidates statewide, for offices from the U.S. Senate, to the Texas Railroad Commission to both houses of the Texas legislature, to a couple of seats on the state Supreme Court. They won 70 and have 14 still pending in run-offs. The Texas REALTORS^® got a big boost from $100,000 in Campaign Services funds, which it used exclusively for communication – direct mail, automated phone calls and development of a campaign web site.
