SEMA advocacy activities are grounded in our commitment to safeguard the interests of the automotive specialty equipment market and performance racing industries.

Our experts in Washington have seen firsthand how the decisions made in Congress and the halls of state capitols can have a lasting impact on our members and the industry more broadly—from how automotive aftermarket products are made, distributed, and marketed. That's why our Public and Government Affairs team is advocating for policy issues that are core to SEMA's mission by ensuring policymakers hear a clear, strong, and unified voice representing not only SEMA members, but also the specialty equipment industry and auto enthusiasts.

SEMA and PRI oppose these waivers, and support their immediate repeal by Congress.
