VADA PAC Supports Virginia Candidates with ‘Drive to 250’

VADA PAC Supports Virginia Candidates with ‘Drive to 250’

Virginia’s auto dealers have always been drivers of progress — keeping customers on the road, creating jobs and powering one of the Commonwealth’s most important economic engines. As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary in 2026, the road ahead demands the same commitment and unity that built our industry. Drive to 250 is our call to action, with the goal of raising $250,000 to support pro-dealer candidates.

Because the policies written in Richmond shape the future of every dealership, from the sales floor to the service bays, we must ensure our voices are heard. Through the Virginia Auto & Truck Dealers Political Action Committee, we support candidates who understand our industry, value free enterprise and will protect a pro-business environment for Virginia dealers.

To secure a pro-dealer environment, we need every member of the Virginia Automobile Dealers Association to contribute to our PAC. Your support ensures that our industry’s story is heard. A $250 level is now available — a dollar for each year of American independence — as well as a $25 option, making it easy for our many dealership employees and industry partners to give what they can to this important cause.

Thank you to the following who have contributed to VADA PAC so far this year. Visit vadapac.com/contributors for the most up-to-date contributor list and to make a contribution today.
