U.S. Reps. Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.) and Sanford D. Bishop (D-Ga.) are leading efforts in Congress to speak on behalf of the automotive industry and enthusiasts, co-chairing the Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus for the 119th Congress.

The bipartisan caucus since 1996 has worked to recognize the contributions the automotive performance and motorsports industry has made, and continues to make, to the U.S. economy.

Rep. LaMalfa is a lifelong car enthusiast, while Rep. Bishop carries a deep respect for the role that cars play in the fabric of our nation. SEMA and PRI will work with both to identify legislative opportunities to support and protect the automotive aftermarket industry and the nation's community of grassroots racing and car enthusiasts.
