I had the opportunity to visit the hardworking men and women of IBEW Local 176, part of the Will & Grundy Counties Building Trades Council. These are the men and women wiring our schools, powering our businesses, and putting in the long hours most people never see.
We talked about the future of the trades, the importance of strong training programs, and what it takes to keep good-paying jobs right here in our communities. I’ve always believed that when we support skilled trades, we strengthen families and build a stronger Illinois from the ground up.
Grateful for the conversation, the insight, and the work you do every single day!
