This year, the San Antonio
Board of REALTORS® (SABOR)
along with the Texas Association
of REALTORS® (TAR) recognize
that April is the kick-off
month for the fair housing initiative
known as “Fair Housing
Month.” We are continuing this
initiative through June with
“Homeownership Month,” by
implementing an extended celebration
we’re calling, the Fair
and Affordable Housing
Campaign. Its purpose is to educate
the public about how Texas
REALTORS® are crucial to
achieving the goal of providing
all Texans with fair and affordable
housing.

offs. Thank you to all Texas
REALTOR® volunteers who
worked hard on these and other
targeted opportunity races. A
record number of Texas voters
voted in this primary and many
of you attended your precinct
conventions to pass the
American Dream resolution.
Thank you for your participation
in the REALTOR® Delegate
Program.
Locally, SABOR supported
County Commissioner Chico
Rodriguez for Precinct 1 for reelection
and State
Representative Frank Corte, Jr.
for District 122 in his bid for reelection.
Both candidates handi-
ly won their
respective
races, but not
without the
help of members
of the
Governmental
A f f a i r s

Many thanks
to all those who worked the polls
throughout the day!

seat in the November election
and will need your support again
at the polls later this year.
