    By Jason Albright, J.D.

    Chavez-DeRemer will be the seventh woman to serve as Secretary of Labor following the 1933-1945 term of Frances Perkins.

    The U.S. Senate yesterday voted to confirm Lori Chavez-DeRemer as the 30th Secretary of Labor. Nominated by President Trump, Chavez-DeRemer was confirmed by a largely bipartisan vote of 67 to 32, with 17 Democrats voting to confirm. Senators Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and Ted Budd (R-N.C.) voted against confirmation, and Senator John Fetterman (D-Pa.) abstained.

    Chavez-DeRemer, who represented Oregon in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2023 through 2025, was the one of three congressional Republicans to co-sponsor the Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act), introduced in February 2023, which would amend federal labor law to expand protections related to employee organizing and collective bargaining rights.

    For FY 2025, the U.S. Department of Labor requested $13.9 billion in discretionary budget authority and 15,762 full-time equivalent employees.
