This past weekend, we celebrated the dads in our lives, right alongside the rest of the world.

When we asked around, a couple of our associates shared photos of theirs. Here are two of the dads we celebrated this weekend: the steady ones, the show-up ones, the ones who taught us more than they'll ever take credit for.

Here's the fun part. We want to meet your dad too.

Post a photo of him below and tell us what makes him so special. 👇

This Wednesday, our Upper Marlboro associates came together at the CDC for a Juneteenth celebration: good food, good company, and a shared moment to reflect on a day that matters.

Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States and the freedom that generations have carried forward since.

It was a time of gathering to connect with one another, of reflection, and a reminder of the community we share.

Thank you to everyone who made it a meaningful day.

You rely on us for your transfer switch - don't ghost us when it's time to buy the generator. We keep a number of models in stock for next day delivery, so any of your customers can glow up their homes.

Our new Gen Z sales trainee says Generac "slaps," but we do not recommend slapping your generator. We DO recommend purchasing a Generac maintenance kit and accessories to ensure it's performing at its best.

Don't leave your customers the dark, let them cook even when then power is out with a complete Generac system.

The tape was the easy part. Then the channel didn't fit, the connector needed a splice, and the driver came from a third vendor.

GM Lighting's LTR-P Pro Series tape is built to skip that. 90+ CRI so the millwork and casework actually look like what your customer wants, 3000K, dimmable, field-cuttable, on a 16 ft reel with adhesive backing.

And we stock the rest of the system right next to it: the aluminum channel, the Sure-Tite solderless connector, and the 12V driver. One source, all compatible.

On the shelf for next-day delivery. The line runs deeper too: higher output, COB for a seamless run with no dotting, tunable white, wet-location ratings, if your spec calls for it.

The Capital Electric Inclusion Committee is awarding two $3,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors this year: one heading to college, and one heading to trade school. Same investment, two roads, because we believe the next generation of skilled professionals comes from both.

If you know a graduating senior chasing their next step, send this their way.

📅 Applications are due July 17, 2026.

YOLO …said nobody ever about their home's backup power.

Our new Gen Z sales trainee told us our social media content is "mid," but we kindly informed him we've got this under control. Regardless, whether you're Gen X or Gen Y, Capital's inventory of Generac helps your customers be prepared for anything.

Having generators stocked in our CDC means we'll be bussin' these straight to your business or jobsite next day. There's really no cap to the benefits it offers your customers. It's giving …energy... to homeowners during power outages.

The multifamily job doesn't wait on a backordered meter stack. Neither should you.

Capital Electric carries the complete Schneider Electric Square D multifamily lineup, the same reliable gear contractors have trusted on apartment builds for decades. EZ metering, QO load centers, NQ panelboards and PowerPacT breakers, VisiPacT safety switches, surge protection. One system, spec'd to win.

Spec it, quote it, and get it on site without the wait. That's how you take the next multifamily bid.

Got one coming up? Your local Capital Electric team is ready. Let's build it.

One fixture. Three distributions. Zero lens swaps.

If you've ever spec'd the wrong beam angle and made a second trip up the pole, the LEDVANCE Global Opti-Select area light fixes that. Adjust the distribution with a switch right on the fixture, no lens kits to stock, no swaps in the field.

▶️ T3, T4, or T5 distribution, changed in seconds
▶️ Selectable wattage (180/240/300W) and CCT (3000/4000/5000K)
▶️ Up to 45,000 lumens, 0-10V dimming
▶️ One SKU covers the jobs you used to stock four for

Spec it once, install it anywhere.
