Kansas City REALTOR® Party Elections Center

The Kansas City REALTOR® Party, reinforced by RPAC, believes that REALTORS® have a role to play in every community faced with the challenges of growth and quality of life issues that are important to creating and supporting vibrant, developing communities. KCRAR and its members strive to promote real estate ownership and private property rights through the free enterprise system. We support ideas and initiatives that afford opportunities for citizens to own a home or real property. We believe that our elected representatives should support this concept and establish a legislative philosophy which both allows and encourages an individual’s right to buy, sell and transfer real property.

How We Select the Leaders Who Champion Homeownership

RPAC’s candidate selection process is grounded in professionalism, nonpartisanship, and an unwavering commitment to safeguarding private property rights and the future of homeownership. While RPAC engages at every level of government, our primary focus is on local candidates—the leaders whose decisions most directly influence zoning, development, housing affordability, and the long‑term vitality of the communities we serve. Local leadership shapes the foundation on which the American Dream is built, and our process reflects the seriousness of that responsibility.

Every candidate we support participates in a rigorous, issue‑focused evaluation. The process begins with a comprehensive questionnaire that examines key topics such as housing supply, land use policy, economic development, and the health of the real estate market. Candidates then take part in a virtual interview, offering them the opportunity to articulate their priorities, demonstrate their understanding of real estate issues, and share their vision for strengthening the communities they hope to represent.

Following these steps, each candidate is reviewed by the appropriate group of RPAC Trustees for the state in which they are running—either Kansas or Missouri. These trustees are respected REALTOR® leaders who bring deep expertise and a strong sense of stewardship to the evaluation process. They assess each candidate’s positions, accessibility, and commitment to policies that support homeowners, property owners, and the real estate industry.

The candidates we support are those who have shown a clear dedication to championing homeownership, protecting property rights, and fostering strong, resilient communities. Their leadership reflects the values that keep the American Dream within reach and ensure a vibrant future for the places we call home.
