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.
Right to Modify
Losing the right to modify our vehicles would be an existential crisis for America’s car culture and the automotive aftermarket. SEMA is fighting to preserve that right, and ensure the swift evolution of vehicle technology does not hinder your ability to make your car or truck safer, better performing, more comfortable, or as stylish as you want it to be.
Right to Race
Our grassroots racing community is the soul of American car culture, and our local racetracks are the backbone. SEMA’s Right to Race campaign seeks to preserve a landscape where local tracks thrive, innovation is on display, and checkered flags are shared by savvy entrepreneurs, fearless drivers, and passionate fans.
