In efforts to promote the industry and to lobby Congress on issues of importance, MTADA’s delegation, including, Bruce Knudsen, MTADA EVP; Wade Rehbein, MTADA Chairman, Rehbein Ford; Craig Tilleman, NADA State Director, Tilleman Motor Company and Wendy Tilleman; Erick Anderson, MTADA board member, Placer Motors and Renee Anderson, Placer Motors; Chad Notbohm, MTADA board member, Notbohm Motors and Janelle Notbohm, Notbohm Motors; joined NADA and many other state auto associations for the annual NADA Washington Conference and Congressional Fly-in. 

The delegation met with leaders, including Rep. Troy Downey, Sen. Steve Daines, and Sen. Tim Sheehy, and representatives from Rep. Ryan Zinke’s office and discussed current issues within the industry and the importance of business-friendly policy with a focus on: 

• Overturning EPA’s EV Mandate
• Protecting consumers and small businesses from catalytic converter theft 
• Opposing the so-called “Right to Repair” legislation

MTADA will continue to work closely with NADA and policymakers to address these issues and more, ensuring that Montana’s franchised dealers remain well-positioned to thrive in a rapidly changing economy.
