Chavez-DeRemer said in her opening statement that as a congresswoman, she supported the PRO Act but that the bill was “imperfect.”
“If confirmed, my job will be to implement President Trump’s policy division, and my guiding principle will be President Trump’s guiding principle, ensuring a level playing field for businesses, unions and, most importantly, the American worker,” she said. Chavez-DeRemer’s support of the pro-union bill, supported by former President Joe Biden, has earned her criticism from some Republicans.
She said that if confirmed she would support Trump’s agenda.
Trump has “united a new coalition of working-class Americans like never before, with 59.6% of Teamsters backing him, historic support for from African American and Latino voters, record-breaking turnout in once solid blue cities and states.”
“Americans are speaking loud and clear, they are calling for action, progress and leadership that puts the American worker first,” she said.
She said that like Trump, she believes labor laws need to be updated and modernized to “reflect today’s workforce and the business environment.”
