My name is Eric Snyder and I began working in SEMA’s Government Affairs office in October as the Congressional Affairs Manager. With my colleagues in D.C., I will serve as an advocate before the U.S. Congress to advance the issues important to the vast enthusiast community represented by the SAN.
Previously, I worked for the state of New Jersey as the legislative advocate for the New Jersey Departments of Treasury and Labor. The move back to Washington has been a smooth transition for me, since I lived in the area from 2005 to 2009. During that time, I worked at the U.S. Department of Labor where I represented the Veterans Employment and Training Service, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics before Congress.
Having recently attended the SEMA Show for the first time, I have an even greater appreciation for the enthusiasts that inspire individuals and companies around the world to create innovative specialty automotive products.
If I can answer any questions you may have regarding bills moving in Congress that impact the automotive hobby, please don't hesitate to contact me at erics@sema.org.
