Each day this week, as part of TPAC’s update on our “Be a
Trail Hero” fundraiser’s donor list, we will highlight a famous off-road
champion who has endorsed TPAC’s effort to send pro-trail candidates to the
U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate.
Today, an off-road racing champion and long-time
supporter of efforts to protect trail access on public lands endorsed The Trail
PAC. Jason Scherer is the 2009 King of
the Hammers Race winner and has captured the crown at many other OHV
competitions.
King Scherer, states, “As a professional competitor and
trail enthusiast, I know what it takes to keep trails open for responsible OHV
recreation. The recent fight to protect
historic motorized access at the BLM’s Johnson Valley OHV Area is proof that it
is the politicians who make land use decisions that impact us all. Electing pro-trail candidates is the most
effective way to help secure long-term recreational access to public lands for
current and future generations.”
“I want to encourage off-road voters to get engaged in
the 2014 midterm elections. I am proud
to endorse the efforts of TPAC to help elect politicians who will support our
access to public lands, Scherer concludes.
TPAC is working to change the obstructionist leadership
in the U.S. Senate that kills OHV-related regulatory reform efforts. Off-road voters can help remove legislative
chokepoint by electing a pro-access majority to the U.S. Senate and maintain
and grow our majority in the House of Representatives.
TPAC’s strategy is to target/support up to 11 key senate
races in states such as Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, Michigan, and
Montana. We also look to target up to 15
important battleground House races in various congressional districts including
Arizona CD2/CD3, California CD7/21, Colorado CD6, Utah CD4, and West Virginia
CD3.
The TPAC Trail Access Victory Fund has set a goal to
raise $10,000 or more between now and the FEC filing deadline of January 31.
Your donation WILL allow us to support key pro-trail candidates in battleground
races. TPAC is asking you to be a TRAIL:
HALL OF FAME MEMBER, HERO, CHAMPION,
LEADER, or SUPPORTER.
During the week TPAC will be featuring Off-Road Champions

the Motos, National Mototrials, and National Hare & Hound who are
supporting TPAC’s effort to elect pro-trail candidates to Congress.

You will note there are several names already on the list
because they were anticipating our formal launch and wanted to be first out of
the gate. Again, the donation lists will be updated each day until the FEC
filing deadline of January 31.
Remember is it Congress that decides where you and I ride
or drive our OHVs. Let send more candidates
who support our values back to Washington D.C. in 2014.
