By Staff Writer September 05, 2024

Tommy Tuberville, the U.S. senator from Alabama and longtime college football coach, will be the featured speaker at the PAC Dinner during the NIADA Policy Conference on Sept. 24.

Auto dealers will have the opportunity to visit with and hear from several Congressmen during events over the three days in Washington, D.C., Sept. 23-25. Dealers will also be holding more than 100 meetings with legislators and their staffs during the Day on the Hill Sept. 25.

Before running for Congress, Tuberville coached college football for 40 years. He was the head coach at Auburn University for 11 years, winning an SEC Championship. He also led programs at Ole Miss, Texas Tech and Cincinnati. He finished his career with a record of 159-99.

More than a dozen other lawmakers have confirmed appearances at NIADA events or receptions. That includes U.S. Representatives Jimmy Panetta (California), Scott Peters (California), Steve Womack (Arkansas), Rick Allen (Georgia), Gary Palmer (Georgia), Marc Molinaro (New York), August Pfluger (Texas), Buddy Carter (Georgia), Diana Harshbarger (Tennessee), Michelle Fischbach (Minnesota), Brad Finstead, Mike Collins (Georgia) and Greg Murphy (North Carolina).

NIADA members will discuss the following issues:

  • The Repair Act – gives consumers and dealers access to their motor vehicle data, critical repair information and tools to repair their vehicles to promote consumer choice, consumer control and safety.
  • The REDO Act – requires the FTC to rework the CARS Rule to avoid negative impacts on consumers and automobile dealers.
  • Preventing Auto Recycling Theft Act – assists law enforcement in combatting catalytic converter theft by marking catalytic converters and creating a more transparent market that deters its theft.
