Expressing support for the designation of July 10th as Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day

Journeyman lineworkers are the people who climb power poles and work near live electrical lines to keep the lights on — and they're among the first to respond after hurricanes, wildfires, and tornadoes, often working dangerously long shifts to restore power. This resolution designates July 10 as Journeyman Lineworkers Recognition Day, honoring both those who've been killed or injured on the job and those who continue to serve. The date marks the 1896 death of Henry Miller, the first elected president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who died troubleshooting an electrical outage at age 38.
