TPAC Endorses Roy Blunt for Senate in MO

TRAIL VOTERS ENDORSE ROY BLUNT FOR SENATE IN MISSOURI

The Trail Political Action Committee (TPAC) is proud to announce its official endorsement and support for Roy Blunt who is running for re-election to the U.S. Senate in Missouri.

Don Amador, Founder of The Trail PAC, said, “Senator Blunt believes it is the government’s role to provide recreational access to public lands for all Missourians.  Today, the federal government continues to promulgate onerous rules and regulations that restrict public access for hunters, fishermen, and trail enthusiasts.”

“Senator Blunt is well-known and respected for his efforts to hold federal regulators accountable.  Outdoor enthusiasts need to send Blunt back to D.C. to continue his work on their behalf,” Amador concluded.

Senator Blunt voted for S1040 in committee, more commonly known as the RIDE Act.  It requires the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to postpone proposed mandates for off-road, side-by-side vehicles (ROVs) until those proposals have been studied and evaluated by government scientific organizations.  That legislation followed the CPSC's rejection of a bipartisan Senate request, signed by Blunt, that the CPSC work cooperatively with the ROV industry and other stakeholders.

The Trail Political Action Committee (TPAC) works to elect federal candidates who will support legislation and policy that promotes and protects responsible off-highway vehicle recreation on public and private lands

Legendary Off Road Racing Family Endorses TPAC

Legendary Off-Road Family Endorses TPAC

RIVERSIDE, CA (Aug. 10, 2016) – A premier off-road racing family and long-time champion of efforts to protect trail access on public lands endorsed The Trail PAC (TPAC) today.  Malcolm Smith, President of Malcolm Smith Motorsports, and his son, Alexander Smith, General Manager of Malcolm Smith Motorsports, in Riverside California, issued a joint endorsement of TPAC’s effort to elect pro-trail candidates to Congress.

Malcolm Smith, an off-road racing legend, states, "My friends, customers, and racing/riding buddies know that my life, career, and family life have centered on my love of trail riding in the great outdoors.  It has been a cherished blessing and is something I want to make sure is around for my children and future generations.”

“Over the years, I have seen thousands of miles of trails closed in Southern California and other places.  Trail enthusiasts have to be involved in the fight to keep trails open for responsible OHV recreation.  Off-road voters must support candidates that will champion access to public lands,” Smith continues.

"Both Alexander and myself have appreciated the work that TPAC has been doing over the last two election cycles to help elect pro-trail candidates to the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.  We are proud to endorse the efforts of TPAC in 2016 to help elect politicians who will support our right to ride on designated roads, trails, and areas," Smith concludes.
