Houston Real Estate Council (HREC) Policy Regarding Political Endorsements
The Houston Real Estate Council is an industry advocacy organization created to address public policies and regulatory issues affecting the real estate investment and development community in Houston and the surrounding area. The Council is deeply involved in a wide range of issues impacting the ownership and development of real estate property.
Members typically serve on every major City task force and committee created to address a wide range of issues, including building codes, transportation, drainage and flooding, parking, landscaping, trees, water supply, planning, environmental issues, and land use controls. The Council continuously monitors and acts on matters that affect the property rights of real estate owners and developers, including City, County, and State government-related issues.
Although HREC members regularly meet with City, County, and State officials, both elected and appointed, to advance the membership’s concerns, The Houston Real Estate Council is strictly non-partisan and does not support, endorse, or contribute to political candidates or parties.
