                        HON. BRITTANY PETTERSEN

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 23, 2025

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Morgan Jay 
Buchanan, who recently retired after nearly ten years as President of 
the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), Local Union 
68.
  President Buchanan dedicated his life to service. He served honorably 
for 17 years in the U.S. Army before enrolling in the Denver Joint 
Electrical Apprenticeship program, and went on to become Vice President 
of IBEW 68 and eventually President.
  As a part of Local Union 68, he worked tirelessly to ensure his 
fellow electricians had safe, rewarding careers. President Buchanan 
embodies the qualities essential to being an effective leader. His 
union brothers and sisters benefited from his hard work and commitment 
to creating a better future for all, and his absence will be felt by 
the community he served so well.
  On behalf of the people of Colorado's 7th Congressional District, it 
is my honor to thank President Buchanan for his hard work and 
dedication to serving his country and his community.
