Election Results for Local Union Election

June 24, 2013

Tom Dalzell was elected to a third full term as IBEW Local 1245 business manager in a mail-ballot election tabulated on June 24. Mike Davis, president since 2004, was elected to his third full term.

Vice President Art Freitas and Recording Secretary Chris Habecker were re-elected to their positions without opposition.

Treasurer Cecelia De La Torre, treasurer since 2004, survived a challenge from union activist Lorenso Arciniega to win a fourth term.

“I congratulate all those who won leadership positions in our union, including the unit officers who were elected at unit meetings in June,” said Dalzell. “We need strong leadership at every level of our organization to meet some very significant challenges in the coming years. I look forward to working with the officers, Executive Board, and Advisory Council members that the members have chosen.”

Pedro “Pete” Sandoval  defeated incumbent Mike Jacobson for the Southern Area Executive Board position.

Tom Cornell was re-elected without opposition to the Executive Board as the representative from Northern Nevada, a seat that was reconfigured in recently-approved by-laws changes that split the Northern Area seat into separate Nevada and California seats. The newly-created Northern California Executive Board seat was captured by Michael Scafani in a hotly-contested six-way race.

Mike Cottrell, who served two terms as Southern Area member to the Executive Board, was re-elected to a third term in the newly-created seat representing Line Clearance Tree Trimmers and Outside Construction.

Stan Zamora was elected without opposition to the newly-created At-Large PG&E General Construction seat on the Executive Board.
