Washington — Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is leaving the Trump administration, the White House confirmed Monday.
White House communications director Steven Cheung said Chavez-DeRemer is taking a position in the private sector.
The department’s Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling will take on the role of acting secretary, Cheung said.
Her departure marks the latest member of President Trump’s Cabinet to exit the administration in recent weeks. Mr. Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this month after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was replaced in March.
Chavez-DeRemer previously served one term as a Republican congresswoman from Oregon before losing her bid for reelection.
