Mission
The Texas REALTORS® Political Involvement Committee (PIC) encourages member participation in the association’s grassroots political advocacy initiatives.
About the PIC
A part of the association’s regional leadership structure, the PIC serves as a conduit of information and political intel between local boards and Texas REALTORS®.
While every region has different needs, PIC members are generally charged with increasing REALTOR® grassroots participation in the association’s political advocacy efforts.
These efforts can include candidate recruitment and training, REALTOR®- and public-voter registration, candidate interviews, REALTOR®-voter turnout, Opportunity Races (REALTOR®-facing political campaigns), legislative contact-team (LCT), calls for action, and related efforts.
PIC members also give regular political updates to local REALTOR® meetings and Texas REALTOR® events.

- Regional PIC terms are two years
- Regional PIC members may serve two consecutive 2-year terms
- Local Government Affairs Directors terms are for one year
