Honoring 250 years of Virginia in America.
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. Our goal: Raise $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 voice is 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.
250 years of opportunity. One industry driving forward.
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. Whether you are a dealership owner, general manager, sales leader, service technician, or proud partner, your contribution helps us drive the future of the automotive industry in Virginia.
More giving options make it easy to contribute
For the first time ever, VADA is offering two new contribution levels to help every role in every dealership get involved. A $250 level is available — a dollar for each year of American independence — and a $25 option, too, to open our fundraising up to as many dealership employees and industry partners at possible.
Invest in your future by contributing to the Virginia Auto & Truck Dealers PAC
Our dealerships rely on a strong, united voice to tell our story to elected officials who craft the regulatory rules of the road impacting our stores. Every dealership role, from owners and general managers to salespeople and technicians, depends on the pro-business environment that comes from supporting candidates who value the work our industry does every day in keeping customers on the road, creating jobs, and serving as an economic engine for Virginia.
Securing pro-dealer laws and regulations takes hard work, and it's a fight we can't win unless we have your investment to help elect candidates who support our industry. Please give to the Virginia Auto & Truck Dealers PAC and help us continue on the road to success.
