GRAR 2008 Candidate Endorsements
GRAR has a longstanding record of involvement in political and legislative affairs. Each year, we issue recommendations of support following an interview process the candidates participate in through our Issues Mobilization Fund – Greater Rochester (IMF).
IMF is a political action committee registered at the state and local levels. The primary goal is to utilize IMF funds to help elect individuals to office who share the philosophy of advancing real property rights for homeowners and promoting a strong, healthy business environment for real estate professionals.
IMF is an open and fair way for real estate professionals to compete and participate in the political process. This competition is the foundation of our democracy and our contributions are never intended to influence an elected official’s position on an issue. Rather, REALTORS® are helping to elect people to office who share our philosophy.
This year we interviewed candidates seeking election to the Monroe County Clerk, Monroe County Legislative District #28, Victor Town Supervisor and New York State Legislature. In addition to the interviews, we also look at past voting histories and positions. The following candidates were interviewed and have been recommended by GRAR as supportive of issues important to the real estate industry, property owners, and REALTORS® in the Greater Rochester region:
Monroe County Clerk
Cheryl Dinolfo (R-C-I)
New York State Senate
Mike Nozzolio (R-C-I-Txpyrs.), 54th District
