U.S. Senator Ellisa Slotkin Has Been Added to the Speaker List.

Senator Slotkin is a Congressional representative from Michigan and supporter of auto dealers and the automotive industry. (Sen. Slotkin was the only Senate Dem. to oppose CA’s EV mandate.) Her perspective on the U.S. political landscape and the Congressional agenda will provide valuable insights on economic policy and issues that matter to franchised dealers.
