Former Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.) will lead the Department of Labor as secretary after the Senate confirmed her nomination on March 10.
Chavez-DeRemer, 56, was approved in a 67–32 vote despite facing initial scrutiny from Republicans over her past union support and from Democrats who questioned her allegiances.
