Have you ever thought about running for office? 

Whether it’s your local town council, school board, or even the state legislature, Realtors® bring a voice that our communities need — and there's no better time to start preparing than now. 

The Realtor® Party’s Online Candidate Training Academy is a free, self-paced course built specifically for Realtors® and Realtor®-friendly candidates who are thinking about public service. It covers everything from getting ready to run, to fundraising, building your campaign team, messaging, and voter outreach. 

You’ll walk away with a real plan — not just theory — for launching a successful campaign when the time is right for you. 

Why Realtors®? 

Realtors® live and breathe the issues that shape our neighborhoods: housing, infrastructure, development, affordability, quality of life.  

Realtors® know what’s working — and what’s not. 

Northern Virginia needs leaders who understand these issues firsthand. Leaders who know how to balance growth, opportunity, and the needs of real people. That’s why Realtors® make great elected officials. And that’s why this training is such an incredible opportunity to add to your candidate toolbox. 

Flexible, Practical, and Built for You 

The best part? You can move through the Online Candidate Training Academy on your own schedule. No deadlines, no pressure, just smart, practical preparation for whatever leadership path you choose. 

If you’re even thinking about running someday, I can’t recommend it enough. Get started here. 

The community needs your voice.
