L.U. 257 (em,i,rtb,rts,spa&t), JEFFERSON CITY, MO — Greetings, brothers and sisters. A lot has transpired these past several months. Winter passed and summer started with an abundance of work to bid on, keeping our contractors busy and our local even busier.

We would like to say thanks to Business Agent Mike Fanning for his many years of service in the field and in the office. Mike retired in April and will be missed.

In turn, we would like to congratulate and welcome former organizer Joel Vanderslice as our new business agent and Sam Luebbering as our new organizer. With the busy times ahead, we are prepared to take on the future and our upcoming work with new leadership.

We also have the honor of congratulating our 2024 graduating class. We can be confident that they will continue with pride and professionalism the IBEW values and skills that have been passed on to them. And we know they will pass them on to future graduates.

Local 257’s new journeyman wiremen are Christian Baulk, Ryan Bernskoetter, Dalton Brown, Colin Crane, Colton Duemmel, Riley Halley, Zachary Heimericks, Corey Holsman, Trent Kay, Austin Krumm, Joshua Lux, Brandon Muenks, Kyle Niekamp, Joseph Oldani, Wade Phillips, Bernard Siebeneck, James Theriot, Steven Theriot and Shelby Verslues.

J.L. Stanley, P.S.
