Trump nominates Oregon congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer as labor secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer from Oregon as the next labor secretary. She is the first Republican woman to represent Oregon in the House and has a history of bipartisan support. Chavez-DeRemer, who lost her re-election bid, has faced criticism from Democrats, who labeled her an "extremist in moderate’s clothing." She has emphasized her commitment to bipartisan results during her time in Congress.
