The Government Affairs Committee (GAC) will serve as GAAR’s frontline team for monitoring local government activity that impacts private property rights, housing policy, land use, development, and the overall health of the real estate market.
This committee will help ensure we remain proactive—not reactive—by identifying emerging issues, attending public meetings, and keeping leadership and members informed about policies that could influence the industry.
Committee members will be responsible for tracking and reporting on local government ordinances, zoning, property tax changes, rental policies, and more across GAAR’s service area—including Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales, the East Mountains, Los Lunas, and surrounding communities.

- Any GAAR or CARNM member is welcome to participate.
- No political experience is required—just curiosity, commitment, and a belief in the value of strong, responsible public policy.
Qualifications
- A commitment to nonpartisanship
- Experience or interest in learning about public policy
