  6. What is PSF? • PSF is a fund that assists in raising your level of involvement in the political process, and allows you to concentrate on your business. • PSF oversees REALTOR® political fundraising by pooling your investment and supporting candidates who share the Association’s views on quality of life issues in Southern Nevada.

  7. How does PSF work for me? • Do you have time to find out what is going on at the State Legislature, County Commission, and City Council? • Do you have time to meet with elected officials, attend meetings, and testify on measures impacting your profession? • Because REALTORS® contribute to campaigns through the PSF, we get to know the people in government who make decisions that impact your business.

  8. Why should I contribute to PSF? • Because the business of government impacts you on a daily basis. • During the legislative session several hundred bills are introduced, many of which involve real estate concerns. Locally, hundreds of ordinances are proposed that concern your livelihood. • The PSF makes sure that your voice is heard.
