Houston Association of REALTORS® Board of Directors  Recommended Candidate List

After conducting interviews with each of the candidates and asking them the tough questions about their positions on a wide variety of issues related to real estate and private property rights, you may find below the official list of HAR recommended candidates for the upcoming election.
 
The Political Affairs Advisory Group, which is comprised of nearly 70 diverse HAR members, conducts the screenings and makes its recommendations to the full Board of Directors. The Advisory Group members do not come in the room to recommend Democrats or Republicans, but rather they support the candidates who best reflect the values and mission of the REALTOR® Party.
 
We hope that you will use this list as one of your resources when selecting the candidates for whom you plan to vote in the election.
 
Make the REALTOR® voice heard and vote!
