Mission
The mission of the NVRPAC Campaign Committee is to develop and implement an annual fundraising campaign to solicit member investments in support of Realtor®-friendly local and state candidates, legislators, and issue campaigns.
The Northern Virginia Realtors® Political Action Campaign Committee is in charge of the annual political fundraising campaign for the calendar year.
Committee members assist in planning fundraising activities and promoting the benefits of NVRPAC to fellow Realtors®. Contributions raised are used by the NVRPAC Trustees to support Realtor®-friendly candidates and issues of importance to the real estate community. The committee develops a strategic fundraising plan to achieve fundraising goals. This strategic plan also includes raising awareness of NVRPAC by educating NVAR members on the benefits of NVRPAC to their businesses.

NVAR recommends comprehensive zoning changes and incentives that facilitate the voluntary market-driven production of a wide range of housing choices at all price levels to suit our diverse population, including encouraging mixed-use development.
It is essential that comprehensive plans provide for the development of owner-occupied housing, to meet existing and forecasted housing demand without unreasonable zoning and land use restrictions that lead to increased costs for housing. Updating zoning ordinances and maps to encourage mixed use with higher residential density in existing commercial areas can provide new home ownership opportunities without affecting existing residential neighborhoods.
