Chavez-DeRemer to Step Down as Labor Secretary; Sonderling to Lead in Interim
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will resign to take a private-sector job, with Keith Sonderling named acting secretary; the White House hasn’t specified when the departure takes effect. Chavez-DeRemer’s short tenure has been marked by internal investigations, staff shakeups, and controversy over conduct at the department, including earlier reports about her husband being barred from headquarters amid sexual assault allegations, alongside a deregulatory push at the Labor Department.
