Special guest Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) [far right] arrived in style at the 2014 SEMA Washington Rally behind the wheel of a replica Cobra. He was greeted at the event by (from L-R) SEMA President and CEO Chris Kersting, SEMA Immediate Past Chairman Nate Shelton and SEMA Chairman Doug Evans.

Want to give the folks in Washington, D.C., a piece of your mind? Now’s your chance. Join fellow SEMA members in the nation’s capital May 11 to show Congress the strength of the $36 billion specialty-equipment industry.

Don’t think you can have an impact on the political process? Preventing regulatory overreach by government agencies, pursuing a pro-growth manufacturing and job creation agenda, creating access to small business loans and credit, preventing higher ethanol content in gasoline and fighting counterfeit products...these are just a few of the issues facing SEMA members during this critical election year.

Take advantage of this one-of-a-kind opportunity to connect face-to-face with your legislators on Capitol Hill and let them know what matters most to you and your business. The SEMA Washington Rally is exclusively for SEMA members.

Scheduled events include:

  • Legislative briefing session with SEMA staff.
  • One-on-one meetings with your congressional legislators and their staff.
  • Exclusive Capitol Hill luncheon with special invited guests.
  • Private reception and dinner with high-profile lawmakers.
