Press Release

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released the following statement after Acting Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling's nomination hearing:

 

“President Trump has made yet another outstanding choice by nominating Keith Sonderling as permanent Secretary of Labor,” said Chairman Gruters. “Keith is a dedicated public servant who served at the Department of Labor in the first Trump Administration working to increase compliance of federal labor laws and improve workforce development, particularly in the AI industry. He has a proven track record of advancing policies that empower American workers and will continue President Trump's mission of unleashing economic opportunity, increasing wages, and bringing American jobs back from overseas. The Senate should move to confirm him as swiftly as possible.”
