Make Congress Drive Union-Made Act

Key Points

• Would stop Representatives and Senators from using official office funds to buy or lease a vehicle unless it’s built in the U.S. and assembled by union workers.
• Applies only to vehicles bought or leased with Congress’s official expense accounts, not to a lawmaker’s personal car or what regular Americans can buy.
• Sets a clear “made here” test: the vehicle’s final assembly must be in the United States, and the workers assembling it must be covered by a union contract.
• Would take effect October 1, 2026, so Congress offices would have to follow the rule for new vehicle purchases or leases after that date.
