Representing one of the nationally critical "battleground" districts in the current United States House of Representatives, Laura Gillen discussed her moderate approach to policymaking and how to work more closely with REALTORS® to help solve the housing crisis responsibly.

LIBOR CEO Doreen Spagnuolo, Board President Mark Donnelly, President-Elect Shaan Khan, Secretary-Treasurer Yvette Clark Watkins, Nassau/Suffolk Government Affairs Chair Paige Ryan, Nassau/Suffolk Government Affairs Vice Chair Natasha Williams, RPAC Committee Chair Erica Turner, former President Susan Helsinger, and RPAC Vice Chair and former President Gina Marie Bettenhauser were all in attendance.
