It has famously been said that "elections have consequences." The results from Tuesday's election will certainly impact what happens in Washington, D.C., starting in January 2025. Donald Trump’s election, coupled with Republican control of the U.S. Senate, is a dramatic change in who wields the levers of power in our nation’s capital.
It is too early to know how regulations regarding the internal combustion engine, autonomous vehicles, or other parts of the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) legislative agenda will be affected. However, what is clear is that priorities for lawmakers and agency officials will be dramatically different starting in January. Control of the U.S. House of Representatives is still up in the air and the results there will go a long way in determining what gets accomplished in the next two years.
Over the next few weeks, we will learn who will take leadership roles in Congress and across the new administration. While the MRF is tracking what happens at the federal level, do not forget that thousands of officials were also elected in state and local elections on Tuesday. Stay up to date on what is going on where you live, remain engaged, keep informed and be active. Elections are a great reminder that "we the people" decide who leads us.
With your help, the MRF will continue the fight for motorcyclist rights. If we do not do this, who will?
