Senate Resolution No. by Senator Reese commends the Louisiana Automobile Dealers Association (LADA) for its significant contributions to the state of Louisiana and designates May 13, 2025, as Louisiana Automobile Dealer Day at the Louisiana State Capitol. Established in 1937, LADA represents 350 franchised new car and heavy truck dealers across Louisiana, playing a crucial role in the state's economy by providing fair pricing, expert service, and exceptional customer care. The association supports nearly 38,000 jobs directly and contributes over $700 million annually to state and local revenues, while also donating more than $20 million to charitable organizations in the past year.

The resolution highlights the importance of LADA's mission, which aligns with Louisiana's core values of community safety, quality education, and economic resilience. As 2025 marks the 88th anniversary of LADA's founding, the Senate expresses its appreciation for the association's commitment to excellence and community betterment. A copy of the resolution will be sent to Kristie Hebert, chair of LADA's executive committee, to acknowledge their ongoing efforts and contributions to the state.
