President-elect Donald Trump announced Friday that he would nominate outgoing Republican Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer to be his labor secretary.
“Lori has worked tirelessly with both Business and Labor to build America’s workforce, and support the hardworking men and women of America,” Trump said in a statement.
Chavez-DeRemer lost her House reelection bid earlier this month after serving one term in Congress. A union-friendly Republican, she had the backing of Teamsters President Sean O’Brien to lead the Labor Department under Trump.
