Today, Congresswoman Linda Sánchez (CA-38) released the following statement after the Senate voted to confirm Tom Perez as Secretary of Labor.

"Today is a great day for hardworking Americans.

He will make an outstanding Secretary of Labor, and I look forward to working with him as we tackle long-term unemployment and immigration reform."

In May, Congresswoman Sánchez led a letter with 138 House Democrats to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell urging them to confirm Tom Perez as Secretary of Labor.
