Elections have consequences. The decision makers we elect to office will have an impact—positive or negative—on your business and your clients. Your vote is your chance to help get pro-REALTOR^® candidates a seat at that table.

Election Day is Tuesday, November 6, 2018. This year, the National Association of REALTORS^®, in conjunction with the Virginia REALTORS^®, are recommending the following panel of candidates based on their record of support for relevant real estate issues:

US Senate – Senator Tim Kaine

1^st District – Congressman Rob Wittman

2^nd District – Congressman Scott Taylor

3^rd District – Congressman Bobby Scott

4^th District – Congressman Donald McEachin

6^th District – Ben Cline

7^th District – Congressman Dave Brat

8^th District – Congressman Don Beyer

9^th District – Congressman Morgan Griffith

10^th District – Congresswoman Barbara Comstock

11^th District – Congressman Gerry Connolly

There are two proposed amendments to the Virginia Constitution on the ballot this year.  The Virginia REALTORS^® encourage you to vote “YES” on both initiatives.  More information about the ballot questions can be found on the Department of Elections website.
