(WASHINGTON, D.C.)  - An Oregon Republican Lawmaker opposed by Organized Labor - U.S. Representative Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who narrowly lost her U.S. House seat on Election Day - is apparently in the running to become Republican President-elect Donald Trump’s Secretary of Labor, with the backing of Teamsters President Sean O’Brien.

Politico reported Chavez-DeRemer, the Daughter of a Teamster, won O’Brien’s support, though the Union is being publicly silent on that.

O’Brien garnered headlines during the election campaign when he became the sole Union Leader to address the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee after O’Brien wrote to Trump seeking a speaking spot - and Trump agreed.

In her House career, Chavez-DeRemer actually became known as one of the few remaining moderate Republicans willing to work across party lines, and also willing to back Pro-Worker Legislation - even when it was obvious the measures were going nowhere in the Republican-run Congress.
