International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers

Three local unions of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers that represent more than 7,500 of Hawaii’s working men and women have endorsed Neil
Abercrombie for Governor.

IBEW Locals 1186, 1260, and 1357 made the unified endorsement. The three locals represent electricians, utility workers, power plant workers, technicians, telephone
workers and television camera people working in Hawaii.

“Neil Abercrombie has a proven record of supporting causes that benefits Hawaii’s working families,” said Lance Miyake, IBEW Local 1260 Business Manager and Financial Secretary. “Neil is committed to restoring the state’s economy and creating more jobs for the people of Hawaii.”

“Over the years of serving Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie has shown he has the leadership, experience and commitment the people of Hawaii needs in their next Governor,” said Damien Kim, Business Manager and Financial Secretary of IBEW Local 1186. “We look forward to doing everything we can to elect him as our next governor to build a brighter future for all of us in Hawaii.”

“We continue our support to elect Neil Abercrombie as our next governor,” said Scot Long, Business Manager and Financial Secretary of Local 1357, which had endorsed Abercrombie last year. “We believe in Neil’s leadership to restore the trust that many of us have lost in our government.”
