Set the Pace in Mid-Term Races
"You can't win the race if you're not in it!" This old adage may sound trivial but its core meaning rings true, particularly as it relates to the outcome of the upcoming U.S. mid-term elections. With the grid already formed nationwide, the car enthusiast community can help determine next year's political course. Voters will elect 435 members of the U.S. House, 36 U.S. senators, 36 governors and thousands of state and local leaders in November. Lawmakers in your jurisdiction crossing the stripe first will ultimately steer or sideline legislation affecting you, your fellow constituents and the auto hobby's future. Here are three easy steps to securing victories for our pastime during next year's legislative sessions:
- Register to vote now at www.semaSAN.com/SEMAvotes
- Locate your elected officials under the "Legislators" tab at www.semaSAN.com
- Find out if your state and federal representatives are affiliated with the SAN-supported Caucuses at www.semaSAN.com/StateCaucus and www.semaSAN.com/FederalCaucus
This year, do us all a favor and head to pit row instead of the grandstand: GO VOTE!
