Episode Details

Tennessee real estate agents are sounding the alarm after discovering their PAC contributions are funding lawmakers behind the controversial redistricting map that gutted Memphis’s voting power. Nearly $2 million has been poured into state politics over five years, with $407K going to top GOP figures like Speaker Cameron Sexton and Lt. Governor Randy McNally — the Realtors’ PAC’s biggest donors. Agents are furious, arguing these politicians are undermining the Realtor Code of Ethics by enabling policies that discriminate against communities, especially Black voters in Memphis. Despite the association’s CEO defending the PAC as essential for promoting property rights and homeownership — and claiming donations are voluntary and bipartisan — many agents feel betrayed by the lack of transparency and alignment with their professional values, with some even considering leaving the state.
