NMHC PAC Board Report January 2016 NMHC’s political action committee, NMHC PAC, supports the apartment industry’s legislative goals, educates Congress about multifamily housing issues and encourages participation in the political process. • 2015 NMHC PAC Receipts and Disbursements (Staff: Lisa Costello and Hailey Ray) In 2015, NMHC PAC raised $1,434,941 from 1,636 individuals from 145 NMHC member companies. The $1.25 fundraising goal was surpassed – by nearly $200,000. Employees of the following firms have contributed $10,000 or more in 2015: Alliance Residential Company; AMLI Residential; ARA; AvalonBay Communities; Berkadia, The Bozzuto Group; Camden Property Trust; CBRE; Colliers International, Cushman & Wakefield; Entrepreneurial Properties Corporation; Equity Residential; FPA Multifamily; Gables Residential; GID; Heritage Title Company; HFF; Holland Partner Group; Home Properties; Jones Lang LaSalle; Legacy Partners Residential; Lincoln Property Company; Marcus & Millichap/Institutional Property Advisors; Moran & Company; National Multifamily Housing Council; NALS Apartment Homes; Pinnacle; Post Properties; RealPage; SARES*REGIS Group; The Rainmaker Group; Trammell Crow Residential; UDR; Walker & Dunlop; Waterton Associates; Westdale Asset Management; Wood Partners; and The Wilkinson Group. The top five firms for employee contributions to NMHC PAC in 2015 were Marcus & Millichap/Institutional Property Advisors ($129,645), Equity Residential ($104,500), Holland Partner Group ($67,200), Berkadia ($55,600) and CBRE ($54,900.) In 2015, NMHC PAC contributed $1,296,500 to 188 congressional campaigns, leadership PACs and party committees. • NMHC PAC Co-Hosted Events A significant amount of NMHC PAC funds are used co-hosting real estate specific events allowing NMHC’s Government Affairs team to solidify relationships with the key lawmakers receiving our PAC dollars. In addition to events based in Washington, D.C., NMHC PAC served as a co-host for events held by our members, specifically Sue Ansel, Lauren Brockman, Bob DeWitt, Clyde Holland, Mike Miller, Tom Moran, Greg Mutz, Tim Myers, David Neithercut, Jeff Stack, and Jerry Wilkinson. These opportunities allowed NMHC PAC to maximize the impact and effectiveness of our dollars with conversations focused on the multifamily industry. Further, they allowed us to make the connection between NMHC and our local members for lawmakers on Capitol Hill. NMHC continues to improve its political clout in Washington with each event. • NMHC PAC Prior Authorization Campaign Federal law requires member firms of NMHC to sign a Prior Authorization Form in order for the executive or administrative personnel of the firm to receive NMHC PAC information and/or be legally solicited for voluntary NMHC PAC contributions (Individual members do not need to sign Prior Authorization Forms). Member firms can only grant prior authorization to one trade association per year. Prior authorization is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time. For firms that submit a Prior Authorization Form to NMHC, NMHC PAC only solicits NMHC’s lead and alternate contacts at the member firm and prior donors. Signed Prior Authorization Forms allow us to communicate with more member firms about the impact NMHC PAC has on the industry’s future. As customary, there will be a campaign in 2016 to educate more firms about prior authorization and to obtain more signed forms. • 2016 NMHC Political Action Committee Leadership: Sue Ansel, President, & CEO, of Gables Residential will serve as 2016/17 Chairwoman. Bob DeWitt, Vice Chairman, President & CEO of GID will serve as past chairman. They will be supported by the NMHC PAC Committee, which plays a key role in NMHC PAC fundraising and oversight. Mike Ferris of Valet Waste, Steve Weilbach of Cushman & Wakefield, and Ed Pettinella of Home Properties will be rotating off the committee with gratitude for their service during a successful year. Bruce Barfield of The Rainmaker Group, Margette Hepfner of Lincoln Property Company, and Arlene Mayfield of RentPath joined the committee this year.
