I want to talk about the SEMA Board of Directors Election Results and what's to come! I am so proud of Melissa Scoles and Kim Pendergast on winning the Manufacturer Seats on the Board. They both have my full support and I look forward to watching their impact on our industry over the next three years. To all that supported me, thank you! You showed up and together we created a new platform that I will continue to use to advocate for our industry!

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each one of you for the unwavering support and encouragement extended to me throughout my campaign for the SEMA Board of Directors. Your support within an industry that holds such significance for me is truly invaluable.

In my interactions with you through personal visits, phone calls, texts, and emails, I gained profound insights. Despite the diverse challenges faced by your respective companies, a common thread emerged. It was fascinating to discover that SEMA had already curated solutions through various resources and programs, unbeknownst to many member companies.

Moving forward, my commitment, if elected to the SEMA Board, is to amplify awareness about these invaluable resources. Remember, you can always reach out to SEMA Membership directly for comprehensive information on the exceptional support that SEMA provides.

Let's work together to enhance communication and ensure that every member company maximizes the benefits of SEMA's resources. Thank you once again for your incredible support and encouragement.

Governmental overreach is coming fast. Faster than you think! We must make our voices heard. We want choices! Hydrogen, hybrids, alternative fuels!

There is only one thing in life you will never get back, and that's time! So, as you sit and wait for your vehicle to charge—40 minutes or more depending on the line and availability of charging stations—please count it all as "LOST TIME."

You could have fueled up with hydrogen or alternative fuels in just minutes. If we lose the ICE engine, SEMA members, we lose—and so does our industry.

Please vote RichB4SEMA. I want to continue making a difference in our industry but now at the Board Level!

How green are EV batteries? We are destroying the land in the Congo (just naming one place), not to mention the children being abused by labor there as well. And now, we are mining the sea.

The rocks in the sea burst with copper, nickel, manganese, and cobalt, all key to building batteries for electric vehicles. The sound under the sea is louder than the loudest rock concert you have ever been to, and the vibrations can be felt within a 310-degree radius from the drilling. What will these vibrations do to whales, sharks, dolphins, and all sea life in general?

Per Alexandra Gillespie: "Because of such serious uncertainties, conservation groups, hundreds of scientists and some battery-reliant manufacturers are calling for a moratorium on deep sea mining. In March, BMW and Volvo Group, along with Samsung and Google, pledged to abstain from sourcing deep sea minerals." https://www.npr.org/2021/09/03/1031434711/your-next-car-may-be-built-with-ocean-rocks-scientists-cant-agree-if-thats-good

The sentence is mostly clear, but it can be improved for conciseness and clarity. Here's a revised version:

Please vote for me, Rich Barsamian for the SEMA Board of Directors to bring a voice of change to our industry!

No word salad. Just facts. No scripts. Just speaking directly to you. I believe experience serving on councils or networks matters when it comes to serving on the Board of Directors. I support the councils and networks 100%! I have over two decades of experience serving on them!

I am asking you to vote for Rich Barsamian for the SEMA Board of Directors so that I may serve our industry on a new level!
