From the SEMA Washington, D.C., office
As President-elect Donald Trump works to build out his cabinet, SEMA continues to be optimistic and encouraged by the individuals nominated to run agencies that regulate the many parts of our industry.
SEMA, for starters, welcomes the nomination of North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum to lead the Department of the Interior. Gov. Burgum understands the importance of motorized recreation to the United States economy and rural areas across the country. We look forward to working with Gov. Burgum on policies to expand and protect motorized recreational access for millions of off-road enthusiasts.
And SEMA believes that the nomination of former Rep. Sean Duffy will bring a fresh perspective to the Department of Transportation. While serving in the U.S. House, Rep. Duffy supported legislation to provide certainty to racers and the motorsports parts industry and exhibited bipartisan sensibilities during his time in Congress that will be an asset to the administration. SEMA is excited to work with Rep. Duffy to protect the future of customizing vehicles, including those with advanced driver assistance systems, and ensure the nation’s transportation system and supply chain assets are safe, well-maintained and easily accessible to small businesses and automotive enthusiasts.
