PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP nominated former Oregon Republican congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer to lead the Department of Labor, with former EEOC commissioner Keith Sonderling chosen as deputy secretary. The American Hotel &
Lodging Association has called on the Senate to swiftly confirm both nominees.

“Keith will work with our nominee for Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer, to put our country and workers first,” Trump announced on Truth Social.

Trump highlighted Sonderling’s labor and employment experience, noting his roles as EEOC vice-chairman and acting administrator of the DOL’s Wage and Hour Division during Trump’s first term. If confirmed, Sonderling would oversee
the DOL’s 15,000 employees and daily operations.

Sonderling thanked Trump for the nomination on LinkedIn.
