3 Things to Know
1. 2026 REALTOR® Day Under the Dome.
The Capitol is filled with REALTOR® energy this week as nearly 100 members come together to engage directly with Colorado’s General Assembly. Throughout the day, members will work to help lawmakers understand how policies - such as those around vacancy taxes and artificial intelligence - affect workplace safety, housing, property rights, and communities across Colorado. The conversations are thoughtful and productive, strengthening relationships and reinforcing the value of real-world expertise in the policymaking process. Events like REALTOR® Day Under the Dome are essential to strong advocacy, ensuring REALTORS® have a trusted seat at the table and influential voice where it matters most.

3. Federal Legislation Impacts Real Estate.
Your association membership advocates on all three levels of government to ensure you can stay in business. At the federal level, the National Association of REALTORS® screens and appoints 535 members, known as Federal Political Coordinators (FPCs), to advocate directly with members of Congress. This year, FPCs are urging support for a bipartisan package of housing bills that would modernize outdated housing programs, streamline permitting and reduce regulatory barriers, and expand infrastructure investment to unlock new development. Other key legislation FPCs are strongly urging Congress to pass include an incentive for more long-term homeowners to sell and allowing first-time buyers to withdraw from their IRAs, penalty-free, for down payments.

Talk to Your State Political Coordinator.
Take a moment to connect with the State Political Coordinator (SPC) at your local association and learn more about their experience in the role! Below is a message from Cooper Thayer, an SPC from the Denver Metro Association of REALTORS®:
“Spending the day at the Capitol as an SPC was such a meaningful experience. It gave me the opportunity to show my legislator how this session’s legislation translates into-real world impacts in our daily work as REALTORS®. Our conversations aren’t just about bills — they are about the people and communities we serve every day. Moments like this reinforce that advocacy isn’t abstract; it’s relationship-driven, and it truly makes a difference when we show up.”
