AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, the Texas Association of Realtors announced its decision to endorse 53 candidates for Texas office in their contested primary races this spring. In making the announcement, Texas Association of Realtors Chairman Dan Hatfield applauded all the candidates for their commitment to the interests of Texas property owners.
“As Texas continues to face the challenges of a large, rapidly growing state, many discussions are centered on providing for the state’s infrastructure,” said Hatfield. “We believe these candidates understand that we must ensure Texas remains a great place to do business and will do what’s right for Texas property owners, which is why we’ve pledged our full support.”
Texas Realtors support conservative solutions to enhance the lives of Texas property owners, such as consumer protections against unscrupulous lenders in 2013, elimination of most private transfer fees on real estate transactions in 2011 and significant pro-consumer reform to the property appraisal system in 2009.
