NMHC PAC Board Report September 2017 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. • NMHC PAC Receipts and Disbursements: As of August 25, there are 762 employees from 134 NMHC member firms that have contributed $1,007,679 to NMHC PAC. This is 81% of the $1.25m fundraising goal the committee set for this off-election year. To date, 97 NMHC members are part of the maxed out donor program donating $5,000 individually. The NMHC PAC and government affairs staff are executing the 2017/2018 PAC Disbursement Budget. The budget outlines the plan to spend approximately $2.8 million this election cycle. The bulk of the contributions are slated for key Congressional leadership and committees with purview over critical legislative issues including tax and housing finance reform, reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program, housing affordability, telecommunication and technology, building codes, HUD rental assistance programs, building codes and energy efficiency. The NMHC staff also focuses on the critical regulatory issues impacting the industry’s day to day operations such as fair housing, resident credit and criminal screening, broadband deployment and completion issues and on issues that specifically impact both the privatized military housing and student housing industries. During this off-election year, to date, NMHC PAC has disbursed $1.075 million to 208 Congressional campaigns, leadership PACs and party committees. Many of these contributions continue to be made to lawmakers at small, targeted fundraising events hosted by real estate industry groups. Employees of the following firms have contributed $15,000 or more in 2017: Alliance Residential, AMLI Residential, ARA Newmark, The Bozzuto Group, Bridge Investment Group, Camden Property Trust, CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, Equity Residential, Gables Residential, Heritage Title Company of Austin, HFF, Holland Partner Group, JLL, Legacy Partners Residential, Lincoln Property Company, National Multifamily Housing Council, Trammell Crow Residential, UDR, and Wood Partners. The top five firms for employee contributions to date are: ARA Newmark ($59,350), JLL ($58,601), Alliance Residential ($52,955), CBRE ($50,600), and The Bozzuto Group ($40,100). • NMHC PAC Co-Hosted Events: A significant amount of NMHC PAC funds are used co-hosting small real estate specific events allowing NMHC’s government affairs team to educated lawmakers on the importance of the multifamily industry and on the issues impacting our members’ bottom lines. • NMHC Personal Dollar Campaign: To strengthen the multifamily industry’s voice and visibility, the NMHC PAC committee created the Personal Dollar Campaign Program. In addition to events based in Washington, the NMHC PAC Committee continues to expand the personal dollar initiative and encourages NMHC executives to contribute directly to candidates at the federal level who are supportive of the apartment industry. This program helps NMHC leverage the level of political support attributed to the multifamily industry beyond the current Federal Election Commission (FEC) limits that govern NMHC PAC disbursements. By supporting this effort, NMHC members send a unified message in a political environment that is increasingly crowded to the key members of Congress with jurisdiction over the multifamily industry. • NMHC PAC Prior Authorization: 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 PAC contributions. Individual members do not need to sign Prior Authorization Forms. These signed forms allow NMHC staff to communicate with member firms about the importance of NMHC PAC and NMHC’s advocacy efforts on behalf of the industry. NMHC PAC only solicits lead and alternate representatives at member firms. NMHC conducts prior authorization campaigns at the beginning of each year. • 2017 NMHC Political Action Committee Leadership: Sue Ansel, President and CEO of Gables Residential, serves as the NMHC PAC Chairwoman. She is supported by the NMHC PAC Committee, which plays a critical role in fundraising and oversight.
