Over 2,000 REALTORS® came to Sacramento and the State Capitol for the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®’ (C.A.R.) Legislative Day 2022. A political momentum is growing for a legislative agenda that supports homeownership opportunities for working Californians and in particular communities of color who have been historically discriminated against in the housing market. Gov. Gavin Newsom addressed the REALTORS® , at C.A.R.’s first in-person Sacramento advocacy event since 2019. Legislative Day has remained C.A.R.’s pinnacle REALTOR® legislative event.
Legislative Day gives California REALTORS® the opportunity to meet and discuss real estate related issues directly with their state legislators and staff.
Attending Legislative Day is not only a great investment in your business, but it also provides you with an opportunity to hear from California's most dynamic political leaders and the leadership of your state association. Plus, after a rewarding day of business, join your fellow REALTORS® at the fabulous Capitol Reception!
