Virginia Coalition of Motorcyclists (VCOM) Puts Bikers on the Political Map
VCOM is on the job 52 weeks each year, representing our interests to lawmakers
and local government.
The political action committee founded by Tom McGrath in 1992, VCOM is the only
state-based alliance of bikers in Virginia dedicated to defending and promoting
all the issues that concern you as a motorcyclist on and off the road – personal
liberty, safety, freedom of expression, political recognition, and respect. This
mission is a full time job.
As registered lobbyists, Tom and Director Jim Cannon are most visible as our
representatives during the General Assembly session every winter. But the fact
is, much of the real work defending our right to ride and representing our
interests goes on behind the scenes throughout the year on a one to one basis,
motorcyclist to legislator. Also, Tom and Jim both serve on a number of state
and local government committees whose work impacts motorcycling in the areas of
safety, law enforcement, and tourism.
VCOM is our organization, and Tom and Jim are working to make certain our issues
and our voting power are recognized. We support motorcycling in Virginia and
defend our right to ride by supporting VCOM’s work and urging other bikers to
join up.
We're making progress, but there's more to be done. VCOM needs our support now.
As a supporter of VCOM, 100% of your financial support is dedicated to making your concerns known to state and
local officials and lobbying members of the General Assembly in defense of your
right to ride freely and safely.
VCOM's Mission
To solicit support at the state and local levels that will defend and promote the rights
of Virginia motorcyclists, and to keep our supporters politically informed,
allowing them the opportunity to express their opinions to their representatives when important issues arise.
