The American auto industry celebrated its centennial in 1996. To mark the occasion, SEMA helped formed the Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus to pay tribute to America's love affair with the car and motorsports. More than two decades later, the caucus continues to raise the industry's profile in the nation's capital. Totaling more than 70 members, a dozen new members have registered their support for the hobby in 2019 by joining the Caucus.
With nearly 50 new members enlisting this year, the State Automotive Enthusiast Leadership Caucus now numbers approximately 675 members representing all 50 states. Founded in 2005, the Caucus is designed as a non-partisan group of state legislators whose common thread is an appreciation for automobiles.
