Advancing Advocacy Video Update

Video Update from Shannon McGahn, NAR’s Chief Advocacy Officer

From NAR President Kevin Sears


As the 2024 election cycle gears up, we wanted to share a video from Shannon McGahn, NAR’s Chief Advocacy Officer, on the important, non-partisan advocacy work we’re doing in Washington and in statehouses across the country to build strong communities, increase access to homeownership, and protect private property rights.

 

As many of you know, I’ve been involved with these efforts for a long time, well before I was installed as NAR President. Earlier this month, I especially enjoyed hearing from our advocacy team, lawmakers and policymakers, and other industry leaders and experts about advancing housing solutions at NAR’s Policy Forum. It’s great to see our advocacy team convening these important conversations and strengthening our industry leadership.

 

We encourage you to watch the video and share it with your networks.

 

Thank you for your continued work in support of our organization.
