2025 was a pivotal year for dealers in Washington. From securing permanent tax relief to stopping California’s gas car ban, the NADA legislative team was in the thick of it all.
In this episode of Dealer Driven, we’re joined by Ivette Rivera, Senior Vice President of Legislative Affairs, and Michael Harrington, Vice President of Legislative Affairs at NADA. They walk us through the big policy wins of 2025, including critical changes to tax law, EV incentives, and the reversal of looming state-level mandates that threatened dealership operations.
We also get a look ahead at what’s coming in 2026, including the ongoing battle over Right to Repair, proposed changes to franchise protections, and what’s at stake in the next surface transportation bill. Plus, we talk about what dealers can do right now to advocate for their business at the federal level.

Whether you’re on the front lines or behind the scenes, this episode breaks down why advocacy matters — and how NADA’s work in DC is shaping the future of retail auto.
