Event Description
Give Congress a Piece of Your Mind at the 2016 SEMA Washington Rally
There is a saying in Washington, D.C., “If you aren’t at the table, then you’re on the menu.” Claim your seat at the table by joining fellow SEMA members in the nation’s capital on May 11, 2016, to show Congress the strength of the $36-billion specialty-equipment industry.
Don’t think you can have an impact on the political process? Think again. After much hard work by SEMA and its members, a bill was signed into law allowing low-volume car manufacturers to offer a wide range of turn-key replica vehicles to their customers. However, there’s still much work to be done. Pursuing a pro-growth manufacturing and job-creation agenda, creating access to small-business loans and credit, identifying affordable health insurance options, countering burdensome regulations, 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
- Opportunities to visit attractions in the nation’s capital

1958 Porsche 356 Speedster
The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models. Originally introduced in 1954 at the urging of U.S. importer Max Hoffman, the Speedster was designed to be a low cost, lightweight, stripped-down entry sports car that could double as a weekend racer, especially for the California sports car scene. With its low windshield,…

1948 Rover P3 Saloon
The 1948 Rover P3 Saloon marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of British motoring. Introduced in the immediate aftermath of World War II, the P3 was a bridge between prewar craftsmanship and the modern engineering ethos that would come to define Rover’s future.
