Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx expressed her support for President Trump's nomination of former Committee member Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer to lead the Department of Labor.
In a statement, Foxx stated, "I congratulate my colleague Rep. Chavez-DeRemer on her nomination. I look forward to seeing a Department of Labor that embraces free enterprise policies so workers and job creators can flourish." She emphasized the need for reduced federal intervention, saying, "It’s time the heavy hand of the federal government got out of the way. Instead of punitive, overzealous, job-killing regulations it’s time to unleash America’s ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit."
The nomination reflects an ongoing discussion about regulatory practices within the department.
