Who am I?

UAW Members,

My name is Greg Mooney, and I am running for President of the United Auto Workers because I believe our union needs honest, servant-hearted leadership now more than ever.

I am a proud husband and father. My wife, Lynna, serves as the Children’s Pastor at Lima First Church, and together we are raising our family with strong faith and American values. Family is the foundation of everything I do. I understand the real pressures that UAW members face, balancing long hours, rotating shifts, and providing for the people we love most. That is why putting UAW families first is not just a campaign promise to me. It is personal.

I am a rank-and-file UAW member who still gets up every day and puts on my work boots just like you. I currently serve as Recording Secretary for UAW Local 2147 at General Dynamics Land Systems in Lima, Ohio, where we build the U.S. Army’s main battle tank. I have also worked in construction and higher education, including teaching IT at a trade school and supporting faculty and staff at a local University. This experience has given me a unique perspective across skilled trades, manufacturing, and education. These sectors represent the broad majority of our membership.

I am not part of the UAW establishment, and I have no political machine behind me. I am running as an independent voice who is willing to stand alone and speak the truth, even when it is uncomfortable. I released a detailed plan to fight back against AI and automation over a year ago because I believe members deserve honesty and real solutions, not slogans that only appear during election season.

At my core, I am a man of faith who believes in servant leadership. I will always put the needs of UAW members and their families above my own. I am running to restore integrity, unity, and accountability to our union so we can finally get back to fighting for the people who actually do the work.

In Solidarity,

Greg Mooney
