Download a High-Resolution Version of the Official Portrait


Lori Chavez-DeRemer was sworn in on March 11, 2025, as the 30th Secretary of the United States Department of Labor. Secretary Chavez-DeRemer has dedicated over two decades of her life to public service, including positions on the Happy Valley City Council and eventually serving as mayor. Under her leadership, Happy Valley became Oregon's fastest-growing community.

In 2022, she was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives by Oregon's 5th Congressional District, making history as the first Republican woman elected to Congress from the state. The daughter of a Teamster, Secretary Chavez-DeRemer is a successful small businesswoman and the first in her family to graduate from college.

She and her high school sweetheart, Dr. Shawn DeRemer founded an anesthesia management company and several medical clinics across the Pacific Northwest. A proud wife, mother of twin daughters, and new grandmother, Chavez-DeRemer is passionate about advocating for businesses, workers, and families.
