Fuel the Fight with NCADA AutoPAC

Fuel the Fight with NCADA AutoPAC; U.S. Capitol at sunset with a vibrant sky reflected in the pool. Trees frame the building, creating a serene and majestic atmosphere.

Each legislative session raises issues that directly impact North Carolina’s franchised automobile dealers, our employees and the communities we serve. From threats to the franchise system to proposals for direct sales and increases to the Highway Use Tax, the defense of our industry demands a strong, unified voice.

That voice is NCADA — and the NCADA AutoPAC.

Through NCADA AutoPAC, dealers across North Carolina can support candidates who understand our industry and help educate policymakers about the critical role dealerships play in our state’s economy. Together, we generate more than $39.5 billion in annual sales, support tens of thousands of jobs and are a driving force in communities across the state.

But advocacy doesn’t happen on its own. It takes engagement, resources and dealers who are willing to step up when it matters most. With the launch of our 2026 AutoPAC campaign, we’re asking our member dealers to “Fuel the Fight” by supporting NCADA’s efforts to protect our industry’s future.

The fight for our industry never stops — and neither can we. Thank you for helping to Fuel the Fight!

NCADA extends our gratitude to all dealer members who contributed to our state and federal PACs in 2025.
