The Impact of Real Estate Political Action Committees on Congressional Voting and Elections
This study examines the effectiveness of 1977-78 Real Estate Political Action Committee (REPAC) contributions in influencing voting patterns on real estate legislation. A simultaneous twenty-one equation model is built to test relationships among the endogenous variables of votes, electoral margin, PAC contributions, and constituent and congressional ideology. The results indicate that REPAC was only minimally successful in influencing real estate votes. Results further indicate that other PAC groups were more successful in influencing voting patterns, suggesting that REPAC contribution allocation procedures could be more effective.
