このコンテンツについて
Chavez-DeRemer is relatively new to her cabinet position, having been confirmed by the Senate on March 10, 2025, with a bipartisan vote of 67-32. Her confirmation received support from 17 Democrats who crossed party lines, while three Republican senators—Mitch McConnell, Ted Budd, and Rand Paul—voted against her nomination.
Before joining President Trump's cabinet, Chavez-DeRemer served one term in the U.S. House of Representatives for Oregon's 5th Congressional District. She lost her reelection bid to Democrat Janelle Bynum in November 2024, after which President Trump nominated her for the Labor Secretary position.
Her appointment was seen as a nod to labor support Trump received during his campaign, particularly from the Teamsters union. Chavez-DeRemer has a somewhat unconventional record for a Republican appointee, having previously co-sponsored the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, which would have strengthened workers' rights to unionize.
During her confirmation hearing in February 2025, she addressed concerns about her previous pro-labor stances, calling the PRO Act "imperfect" while expressing support for right-to-work laws. She also indicated support for Registered Apprenticeship Programs and reauthorization of the Workforce Opportunity and Innovation Act.
As Labor Secretary, Chavez-DeRemer oversees a department with nearly 16,000 employees and a proposed budget of $13.9 billion for fiscal year 2025. Her responsibilities include reporting unemployment rates, regulating workplace safety standards, investigating wage disputes, and enforcing laws on union organizing.
Chavez-DeRemer faces significant challenges in her role, including ongoing lawsuits challenging the authority of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been operating within the Department of Labor. During her confirmation hearing, she promised to examine these efforts further once confirmed.
The Secretary's background includes service on several House committees during her congressional tenure, including the Education and Workforce Committee, Agriculture Committee, and Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. She was also a member of the Republican Main Street Partnership and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
Upon her confirmation, Chavez-DeRemer stated she was "deeply honored" and promised to "work tirelessly to put American Workers First by fighting for good-paying jobs, safe working conditions, and secure retirement benefits."
