This morning CIANJ President, Anthony Russo, attended the “Mid-Atlantic Rally: Save Our Jobs! Don’t Ban Our Cars!” event. The rally was to call for the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state agencies to change course on policies that will ban most new gas cars and impose electric vehicle mandates. Not only is the federal government taking vehicle choices away from American consumers; but gas car bans and EV mandates threaten energy security. Tell Your Member of Congress Today! (202) 224-3121
