Well, Friday evening just got a whole lot more exciting, with the latest announcement of a major role in President Donald Trump 47’s administration. The president-elect wrote in a statement, picking Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-OR):
I am proud to hereby nominate Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer, from the Great State of Oregon, as United States Secretary of Labor. Lori has worked tirelessly with both Business and Labor to build America’s workforce, and support the hardworking men and women of America. I look forward to working with her to create tremendous opportunity for American Workers, to expand Training and Apprenticeships, to grow wages and improve working conditions, to bring back our Manufacturing jobs. Together, we will achieve historic cooperation between Business and Labor that will restore the American Dream for Working Families.
Lori’s strong support from both the Business and Labor communities will ensure that the Labor Department can unite Americans of all backgrounds behind our Agenda for unprecedented National Success – Making America Richer, Wealthier, Stronger and more Prosperous than ever before!
But as my colleague Jennifer Oliver O’Connell wrote recently, some conservatives/independent contractors might have reservations about Chavez-DeRemer as the pick for the Labor Department chief:
