By the PRI Washington, D.C., office,

SEMA & PRI PAC last week hosted an exclusive election preview webinar for its supporters, with insights from Charlie Baker, president and co-founder of political consultancy Dewey Square Group, and Adele Malpass, journalist and president of the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Baker and Malpass provided their presidential campaign insights from their respective democrat and republican viewpoints. The two guests talked about what is going well with each campaign (and what could be better), what should the respective candidates focus on in the final thirty days of the election, how to read and decipher public and news organization polls, and more. The webinar also provided an analysis of the potential outcomes of the 2024 presidential and congressional elections and what they could mean for the motorsports and automotive aftermarket industries. If you missed the webinar but still want to hear future political insights from SEMA, its speakers and the D.C.-based government affairs team, the 2024 SEMA Show will feature two such opportunities.

First, join us for the SEMA & PRI PAC Election Watch Party on Tuesday, November 5, from 8:00-10:00 p.m. PST, at the Westgate Hotel, Ambassador Suite, Room 2915. This exclusive PAC member event will feature an open bar, catered refreshments, and a chance to network and mingle while watching the election results unfold in real time.
