A Legacy of Powering the Nation’s Capital
For over 130 years, IBEW Local 26 has trained elite electricians, built landmark projects, and stood strong for union values across DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
Over a Century of Brotherhood, Built to Last,
our Electricians make the modern world possible.

Through unity, craftsmanship, and community, we proudly carry the torch of organized labor into the future.
