Congressional Automotive Caucus

The Congressional Automotive Caucus was formed in 1983 to exhibit a unified voice for American auto manufacturers and their employees. The Caucus fights unfair trade policies that put the American worker at a disadvantage. The Caucus also opposes emissions standard increases that, if not carefully done, can be technologically and fiscally costly.

Since its beginnings, the Congressional Automotive Caucus has been effective in guiding legislation, in keeping Members of Congress informed and in protecting American manufacturing jobs. By meeting frequently with auto executives and House Leadership, the Caucus has worked to set aside partisan divisions to advance an agenda that promotes the American auto industry and domestic manufacturing. The greatest achievement of the Caucus last year was blocking congressional consideration of the Korean Free Trade Agreement. The pact, if approved, would have renewed the failed and severely unbalanced policy that allows Korea to export to the United States 700,000 cars annually while we send only 4,000 to Korea.

The voices that represent the American auto manufacturers and their employees are more loudly heard when unified, and that collective voice will repeat that what's good for the American auto industry is good for our country.
