JUST IN: Congratulations Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer on her nomination to serve as Secretary of the Department of Labor. If confirmed, she would be the second Latina to hold the position. A California native, she had already made history by being the first Latina to be elected mayor of Happy Valley, Oregon, and is one of Oregon’s only two Latinas ever to be elected to Congress. We look forward to Congresswoman Chavez-DeRemer bringing her background to this top-level position and carrying out her functions as Secretary of Labor with integrity and strong leadership. ??

We congratulate Senator Marco Rubio on his historic nomination as the first Latino and Cuban-American to serve as the next Secretary of State. His knowledge and experience, including his service on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and as Vice Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, further make him an unparalleled choice to head the State Department. We look forward to Senator Rubio bringing his experience and background to the job and carrying out the country’s foreign policy with competence and responsibility.
