Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned, according to The White House on Monday.
“Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will be leaving the Administration to take a position in the private sector. She has done a phenomenal job in her role by protecting American workers, enacting fair labor practices, and helping Americans gain additional skills to improve their lives. Keith Sonderling will take on the role of Acting Secretary of Labor,” White House spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a post on X.
NOTUS reported the news first on Monday.
Chavez-DeRemer’s resignation adds to the mounting turnover rate inside the second Trump administration. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi were pushed out from their positions in March and April, respectively. Top aides at the Labor Department, Chavez-DeRemer’s chief of staff Jihun Han and deputy chief of staff Rebecca Wright, have also recently left their roles.
After the announcement of Chavez-DeRemer’s resignation, she released a statement online.
