The tidal wave of pro-worker victories in U.S. elections last November and earlier included the IBEW’s own first-time candidates and seasoned officeholders winning races for town councils, school boards, utility boards and more, including two Assembly seats in New Jersey. “I’m so proud of our members’ public service, which is critical to our fight for IBEW jobs and values,” International President Kenneth W. Cooper said, pointing out that thousands more offices are up for grabs in the U.S. and Canada in 2026. “We’d love to see some of your names on those ballots. But you can still make a huge difference by supporting and voting for pro-union candidates.” Below, meet three of the IBEW’s 2025 winners.
