Wyden Statement on Lori Chavez-DeRemer Nomination

Washington, D.C.– U.S. Senator Ron Wyden today released the following statement on Donald Trump’s nomination of Lori Chavez-DeRemer to be U.S. Labor Secretary.
“As a proud supporter of thePRO Actthat would empower Oregonians and all Americans to unionize and advocate for fair wages, benefits and working conditions, I took special note of Lori Chavez DeRemer’s bizarre disavowal today of her previous support for this vital legislation,”Wyden said.“Her reversal is blatantly anti-worker and calls into question whether she’d be anything more than another tool of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. But her troubling flip-flops didn’t stop there. Just months after telling Oregon voters she was pro-choice, she also told senators today she’s anti-abortion. I will vote against her confirmation.”
