The reports section comprises three reports, two from 2007 and one from... 1983. Clicking "view more reports" links to a page with those same three. I know they've done more in this area but I thought that was worth a laugh at least.

Fun fact: NAR was the top lobbying spender in 2020 with $84B. Second place was Chamber of Commerce at $82B. Third place was $26B, or less than one third of NAR's spend. https://infogram.com/1pyy66emdxryq1c3yez9wqvxp2by3p7pgn3 https://infogram.com/1pyy66emdxryq1c3yez9wqvxp2by3p7pgn3 I only saw those stats recently but felt realtors are likely a very vocal and substantial constituency for every representative.
