While in Washington last week, the Charleston Apartment Association also had the pleasure of presenting Senator Tim Scott and Representative Mick Mulvaney with PAC fair share checks from funds raised in 2014. Donations like these enable our voices to be heard and pave the way for political leaders to advocate for the local and national industry. Great news too, the CAA has already met our Fair Share again!
