Elections Have Consequences
Recently, I had the privilege of attending the NADA Washington Conference alongside our Chairman, Marshall Jespersen, and NADA Director, David Hammer. During this event, we engaged in person with members of our congressional delegation and their staff/policy experts to discuss federal issues that could significantly impact auto dealers in New Hampshire. Conversations with our counterparts from other states reinforced the crucial role that our elected officials play in shaping the future of our industry and the importance of maintaining strong relationships with them.

Elections have consequences.
While we would never tell or ask you who to vote for, we encourage every member to recognize the immense privilege of living in a democracy where your voice counts. Voting isn’t just a right; it’s a responsibility. In many parts of the world, people long for the opportunity to participate in free and fair elections. We have that freedom, and it’s crucial that we make the most of it.
So, on election day and beyond, take the time to research the candidates, understand their positions, and make an informed decision that supports both your values and the future of our industry.
