Background

The National Association of Realtors gave the Senate Leadership Fund $5.0m on 1 October 2026 through its Super PAC, the National Association of Realtors Congressional Fund, the Fund's largest October donation. The donor of record is the Congressional Fund, which had given the Senate Leadership Fund $10.0m in the 2026 cycle by that date.

The association was founded in Chicago in 1908 as the National Association of Real Estate Exchanges and has about 1.5 million members. Its political arms are the Realtors Political Action Committee, which gives to candidates of both parties, and the Congressional Fund, which can raise and spend unlimited sums.

In March 2024 it agreed a $418m settlement of the Commission antitrust cases and dropped its commission rules.
