IAM Local 774

Local 774 Member Moses Muchira (Blue polo to the right) took his leadership journey to new heights by attending the 2026 Leadership 2 class at the IAM’s William W. Winpisinger Education and Technology Center in Marlboro, Maryland. As part of this immersive program, students travel to Washington, D.C., to advocate for their communities on Capitol Hill. Seizing the opportunity, Moses scheduled a meeting with Elizabeth Young, Deputy Chief of Staff for Representative Ron Estes of Kansas’s 4th congressional district, where he passionately presented the urgent issues facing working people in Kansas. This is truly education in action! #IAM774

What is an Endorsement (Run-Off) Vote?

Each local in the district will conduct its own endorsement (run-off) vote, and the results will determine which nominees will proceed to the final election ballot on August 22, 2026.
