WHITEFISH, MT – Today the Montana Auto Dealers Association endorsed Ryan Zinke, former U.S. Secretary of the Interior, Montana At-Large Congressman, and U.S. Navy SEAL, for Montana’s new first Congressional District.

“If you want to see how the supply chain crisis is negatively impacting Montana, look at a car dealership. I’ve spoken to many who have been waiting months for inventory which means their people can’t get paid and Montanans can’t get the vehicles they need,” said Ryan Zinke. “There’s a lot that can be done in Washington to support Montana’s auto dealers. The first step is fixing our broken supply chain with a series of regulatory holidays, increasing domestic manufacturing of important component parts like microchips, and increasing domestic production of critical minerals and energy. As the grandson to pioneers in Montana’s auto dealership trade, I’m proud and honored to have their support.”

“The Montana auto dealers association is excited to support Mr. Zinke in his run for Congress. Ryan has always been a friend of the Montana auto dealers since growing up in and around his grandfather’s car dealership.” Said James Johnson, Chairman for the Montana Auto Dealers Association “He cares about Montana businesses and their employees. Ryan Zinke is a true Montana Warrior who will go to Washington and fight for the best interests of all Montanans.”

MTADA is the Montana chapter of the National Auto Dealers Association and represents 99 franchised car and truck dealers across the state of Montana.
