“Next time we’re enlisting the help of the secret service,” joked IAR’s Political Fundraising Coordinator Joni Bergschneider after the cardboard cutouts of presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama were stolen from the IAR Expo sometime Thursday night (or early a.m. Friday, hotel cameras are still checking).
The straw poll fundraiser for the REALTORS® Political Action Committee was a popular Expo stop for REALTORS® who wanted to get their picture with the candidates and buy a vote for their favorite candidate with a donation at any level to RPAC, which gives money to political candidates who support the real estate industry and REALTOR® issues on the state and national level.
In the end, McCain fans raised $48.02 dollars for RPAC to Obama fans’ $46 dollars for a total donation of $94.02 to RPAC. Thanks to all who posed with the candidates and gave to RPAC.
Don’t forget to vote for real on November 4!
