Political Action Committee

The Texas Apartment Association’s PAC strengthens advocacy by supporting candidates who champion a thriving rental housing industry and community growth in Texas.

Why PAC?

The Texas Apartment Association’s Political Action Committee is one of the largest trade association PACs in Texas.

As an essential part of TAA’s advocacy efforts, the TAA PAC pools the voluntary contributions of our investor members to support candidates for the Texas Legislature and for statewide office who favor a healthy business climate for the state, our industry and our communities.
