Lori, stepping into history as the 30th United States Secretary of Labor in March 2025, shatters glass ceilings as the first Hispanic woman to represent Oregon in Congress and a former mayor of Happy Valley, Oregon. Endorsed by President Donald Trump and supported by the Teamsters, her remarkable journey continues to inspire discussions nationwide regarding her impactful labor policies.

This week, the spotlight shines on the U.S. economy with the latest jobs report revealing a gain of only 73,000 jobs and unemployment creeping up to 4.2%.
