Your contribution to CA-PAC will make a difference! Elected officials in Trenton make decisions impacting our owners’ investment and our businesses’ bottom lines. We can no longer afford to be spectators in the political process.

What is a PAC? A political action committee (PAC) collects voluntary contributions from individuals and businesses who share common interests, and makes contributions to the political campaigns of candidates for office. PACs provide their members with several advantages: • PACs multiply the leverage of individual donors. A donor who might only be able to give a few hundred dollars to a single campaign can instead give that money to the PAC, and be part of larger, more impactful contributions to multiplecampaigns. • PAC contributions are “branded” in a way that individual contributions are not. It is important for us as an industry to support the election, re-election and continued service of elected officials who understand and support our issues. CA-PAC is the best way for us to come together and do that. • Whereas our lobbyists work with elected officials on behalf of our industry, a PAC is our way to have a say in who those offi- cials are by insuring that the best candidates have the resources they need to run winning campaigns. Many competing trade associations have large PACs (realtors, homebuilders, bankers) and have been raising funds for many years. We are asking you to take a step up on an annual voluntary basis – to give and raise funds for the campaigns of good candidates for New Jersey legislature. As our industry is subjected to greater scrutiny and more burdensome regulations, your contribution is an important investment in New Jersey communities. NOW is your chance to participate in a big way and continue the momentum! Don’t wait – contribute today!
