  REALTOR® Voter Guide - Election 2002

by Michael Theo and Joe Murray

We've assembled voting records, held candidate interviews, conducted member focus groups, paid for detailed public opinion surveys, reviewed the recommendations of the RPAC Trustees, studied the proposals from the 2002 Political Strategy Group and compiled the decisions of the WRA Board of Directors, and now we present here the final Wisconsin REALTOR® Voter Guide for the 2002 elections - a convenient, one-stop place to find all of the REALTOR®-supported state candidates on the November 5th ballot. 

These candidates were selected to receive REALTOR® support based on real estate related issues, either by virtue of their past voting record, responses to candidate interviews or other communications with the WRA. 

Every REALTOR® is encouraged to get to the polls on Tuesday, November 5th and support these candidates who support our issues and our industry. And while you're at it, please encourage your friends, family and colleagues to do the same! Remember, your personal efforts and vote will make a substantial difference in the business climate for your business for many years to come. Do your part for your industry and your business and vote for these candidates November 5th!
