The IBEW has built and modernized this country and it helped me personally, providing the kind of security and future that you need to raise a family and provide for them. My union membership and specifically, my membership in the IBEW, is sacred to me. The IBEW can take a kid like me with no college education, and make me the Business Manager of my local.

We are the most qualified, best trained, and safest electricians in the world, and this has helped our membership stay on the cutting edge and stay employed. But too many of our brothers and sisters are still missing out on the opportunity to live the American Dream because of missed opportunities and politics. We need to organize.

I fight because every worker, every person who is willing to do the work, deserves the benefits of being a member of the IBEW. We need more members, and we need more jobs for these new members.
