President Donald Trump intends to nominate Keith Sonderling as Secretary of Labor, elevating him from his current role as the agency's acting director. The announcement comes two months after Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned from the position amid allegations of abuse of power. Sonderling’s nomination will require Senate confirmation.
A lawyer by profession, Sonderling has held various acting and leadership roles within the Trump administration, including deputy labor secretary and a Republican member of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
