President Donald Trump’s Labor Secretary candidate, Lori Chavez Deremar, went past Thursday’s final procedural vote and won the final confirmation vote next week.
She is now one step closer to becoming a secretary to the Department of Labor and will face a final vote on Monday.
She recently gained bipartisan support for major Senate committees on healthcare, education, labor and pensions (help). There was initially uncertainty whether her appointment would be reported favorably as Senator Rand Paul promised to oppose her.

Chavez Deremar ultimately won 14 votes, moving forward from the committee last month, with nine senators opposed.
She also includes almost all Republicans except Paul, as well as DN.H., DN.H., John Hickenlooper and D-Va. The votes were won by Tim Kane, John Hickenlooper and Tim Kane.
In an earlier statement, which announced her support before the committee voted, Hassan said, “The Department of Labor plays an integral role in supporting workers and small businesses alike, and after hearing important support from members, including members of the New Hampshire labor union, I will support Chavez Deremar’s appointment as Secretary of Labor.”

“We may not agree with everything, but after meeting with Representative Chavez Deremar and hearing her testimony at the confirmation hearing, I believe she will be in her next role as the Secretary of Labor.
After attending Trump’s joint speech to Congress on Tuesday, she told Fox News Digital that she was “thank” for her democratic support on the committee.

During her hearing, Chavez Deremar was questioned about his past support for the controversy to protect the right to organizing, which would effectively kill state-level laws that effectively kill workers and workers who require them to pay union membership fees as a condition of employment. Republicans have long opposed to overturning such rights of labor laws at the state level.

Trump’s Labour Party recently returned her support for the policy as she was questioned by a senator. “Like President Trump, we believe our labor laws need to be updated and modernized to reflect today’s workforce and business environment,” she said during the hearing.

“As a member of Congress, the Pro Act was a bill that would have a deep and important conversation with people in Oregon’s Fifth Congressional District. I recognize that the bill is incomplete and I recognize that I no longer represent Oregon as a lawmaker.”
