On Friday, President-elect Donald Trump announced that he has selected U.S. Representative Lori Chavez-DeRemer, a Republican from Oregon who lost her reelection bid earlier this month, to head the Labor Department.
Several trade and public safety unions in her district supported Chavez-DeRemer, who was serving out her first term as the representative for Oregon’s 5th Congressional District. The major public sector unions backed her defeated opponent, state lawmaker Janelle Bynum.
