Key Points

The Senate passed a resolution to name July 10, 2026, as a special day to honor the people who maintain our power lines. These workers are responsible for keeping electricity running for homes, schools, and hospitals across the country.
This recognition highlights the dangerous work these individuals do every day. They often work long hours in extreme weather like hurricanes, wildfires, and ice storms to restore power to communities after disasters.
The date was chosen to remember Henry Miller, who was the first president of the national electrical workers union. He died 130 years ago while working to fix a power outage in Washington, D.C.
A large group of senators from both political parties supported this move. They want Americans to recognize the sacrifices these workers make to keep the national energy grid safe and reliable.
