President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Republican Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer as his nominee to lead the Labor Department.
The Oregon House member who narrowly lost her reelection bid earlier this month received strong backing from union members in her district.
As a potential Labor secretary, Chavez-DeRemer would oversee the Labor Department's workforce and its budget and put forth priorities that impact workers' wages, health, safety and ability to unionize, and employers' rights to fire employees, among other responsibilities.
