So the CAA takes contributions from landlords, and then directs that money to local & state pols. It's a kind of shell game.
The pols, in other words, aren't really taking money from the CAA. They're taking money from all the landlords that first delivered cash to the CAA.

We often investigate the California Apartment Association because it's funded by corporate landlords, and the CAA carries out Big Real Estate's agenda.
So we like to examine the CAA's campaign contributions. It's something you can do, too.
