Senate confirms Chavez-DeRemer for Labor secretary
Source: Roll Call
Posted March 10, 2025 at 7:04pm
Several Senate Democrats joined almost every Republican to confirm Lori Chavez-DeRemer, 67-32, as Labor secretary on Monday.
Chavez-DeRemer, a former one-term Republican House member from Oregon, overcame misgivings from some Republicans over her co-sponsorship of legislation in the last Congress that would have made it easier for workers to join a union.
She backed away from the bill during her Feb. 19 confirmation hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. She told lawmakers she signed on to the bill in order to be part of congressional efforts to update labor laws.
The committee advanced her nomination, 14-9, in a Feb. 27 vote.
