Government Relations

---

As the government's role in our industry continues to grow and with the stakes getting higher by the day, we must continue to play a more active roll in government. The best way to do this is building relationships with our legislators and educating them on our industry.

"All politics is local" and IEADA works closely with all of the elected officials in Riverside and San Bernardino counties educating them on the retail automotive industry. We carefully evaluate the effects of proposed legislative and regulatory actions and communicate with elected officials on their impact on your business, your employees and your communities. The association also works closely with the California new Car Dealers Association (CNCDA) and National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) and the American International Auto Dealers Association (AIADA) to ensure that a dealer perspective is voiced and heard on legislative issues.

In an effort to foster and strengthen the relationships with local Legislators, IEADA has implemented the Legislative Luncheon program. We host luncheons with the Legislators to help build these important relationships and provide them with a better understanding of our industry, which is essential to our success when we need their support in the future. 

Dealer Day is an opportunity to meet with our State Senators and Assembly Members at their Capitol offices and share with them the important role Dealers play in the community and the issues that affect our businesses. If you have never been before, please consider making a wise political investment of your time to travel to Sacramento. By attending Dealer Day you can experience first-hand the impact you can have on the future of our industry.

The IEADA Political Action Committee supports pro-business, pro-dealer candidates. The IEADA-PAC helps shape the political landscape, not just react to it. All contributions made by the PAC are recommended by local dealers and approved by the IEADA-PAC Board of Directors.
