Auto racing plays an important role here in North Carolina both as a significant local employer and also as a timeless pastime enjoyed by many. Yet racing has been under threat from Washington bureaucrats, with the EPA attempting to limit the ability of racers to modify their cars for closed track use. Last year, I introduced the RPM Act to block these efforts and the EPA backed off. Today, I'm proud to announce I've reintroduced the RPM Act so that we can permanently block the EPA from attempting to regulate this vital industry.

McHenry Introduces RPM Act
- News Type: Press Release
Last week, Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry (R, NC-10) introduced H.R. 350, the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2016 or "RPM Act" which permanently blocks attempts by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate modified motor vehicles used for racing. The bill was introduced with a bipartisan group of 44 original cosponsors. For decades, automotive enthusiasts have modified street vehicles into race cars used exclusively at closed race tracks. In early 2016, the EPA issued a proposed rule that would make it illegal for this practice to continue via the Clean Air Act even though Congress never intended for race cars to be subject to the Clean Air Act. While the proposed EPA regulation was withdrawn in April of 201...

Last night, Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry (R, NC-10) released the following statement after House passage of H.R. 26, the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act of 2017: “Over the last eight years, the Obama Administration has led a regulatory onslaught. With a cumulative economic cost of nearly $2 trillion, these unilateral actions have killed jobs and driven up the prices for everyday goods and services. “Tonight, the House took an important step to slow these regulations with passage of the REINS Act—a bill that requires any regulation with an economic impact over $100 million be submitted to Congress for approval. I’m proud to support this simple, common sense measure bringing accountability to the regulatory...

McHenry Stands With Israel Against UN Action
- News Type: Press Release
Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry (R, NC-10) released the following statement after the House of Representatives passed House Resolution 11, objecting to the United Nations Security Council's Resolution 2334: “The United Nations' treatment of Israel is dangerous and objectionable. As our sacred ally and the only true democracy in the entire Middle East, Israel should be recognized for their commitment to democratic principles and commended for all they do to maintain peace. Instead they are targeted by another one-sided, anti-Israel resolution at the Security Council. Unlike the outgoing Administration, I’m proud to join with a bipartisan majority in the House to stand with Israel and fight back against these misguided attacks.”
