PICKERINGTON, OH – March 26, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) –  As Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) prepares to retire at the end of this term, House Motorcycle Caucus co-chair and AMA Life Member Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI) will take over responsibilities within the Congressional Motorcycle Caucus.

In addition to Walberg’s ascension, Rep. Troy Balderson (R-OH) and Rep. Donald Norcross (D-N.J.) will serve as co-chairs while Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) will step in as vice-chair of the caucus.

“Michigan has a strong and vibrant riding community, myself included, that use motorcycles as a source of recreation and transportation,” Congressman Walberg said. “As I talk with my fellow motorcyclists, I often hear about the need to bring increased awareness to the issues facing our community. The bipartisan House Motorcycle Caucus is an important part of finding solutions, so riders are free to enjoy the open road. I am pleased to continue working on these topics with caucus leadership, Co-Chairs Balderson and Norcross and Vice Chair Van Orden.”

As issues impacting motorcyclists tend to go beyond traditional party differences, the AMA continues to support the bipartisan structure and overall mission of the Congressional Motorcycle Caucus.
