Kentucky Automobile Dealers Association

KADET

Kentucky Automobile Dealers Election Trust

The Kentucky Automobile Dealers Election Trust (KADET) is the PAC for Kentucky dealers.  Established in 1981, its purpose is to support legislative candidates at the state level who understand the needs of new and used car dealers.  

KADET contributes to those state legislators who listen to the concerns of dealers and carefully consider the costs of proposed laws and regulations and demonstrate fairness on issues impacting Kentucky’s automotive retail industry.

Legislators and regulators in Kentucky can have a huge impact on dealer operations. That is why we need your help with continuous fundraising to ensure we have strong advocacy efforts. Lack of support could be costly especially when issues like franchise law, dealer licensing, and taxes come before legislation.

100% of PAC contributions received from dealers go into the hands of legislators who support our industry. Check out the proof.

The stakes are too high to not plan for the future. With KADET, you put money into something that protects your dealership, your family, your livelihood. Your contributions drive our industry forward!

Dealers who contribute $2,000 per year become members of the KADET Presidents Club and receive special recognition for their support of the industry.      

For more information about contributing to KADET, contact Melissa Peach at mpeach@kyada.com
