Trump Names Oregon Rep Lori Chavez-DeRemer as His Choice for Labor Secretary

Washington D.C. - President-elect Donald Trump announced his choice of Representative Lori Chavez-DeRemer of Oregon to lead the Department of Labor, praising her efforts in strengthening the US workforce and supporting Americans.

Chavez-DeRemer's appointment comes at a time when Democrats have taken control of both chambers of Congress, with her being defeated by Democrat Janelle Bynum in her re-election bid earlier this year. However, Trump is confident in her abilities, citing her experience working closely with businesses and labor unions to create opportunities for American workers.

Trump stated that he looks forward to working with Chavez-DeRemer to improve working conditions, expand training programs, and promote job growth across the country. Her appointment as Labor Secretary marks one of Trump's early cabinet picks under his presidency.
