WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV), a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), released the following statement after voting to confirm Boston Mayor Marty Walsh to serve as the Secretary of the U.S Department of Labor (DOL):
“Today, I was proud to vote to confirm Marty Walsh as the Secretary of Labor,” said Senator Rosen. “His confirmation comes at a critical time for the American labor workforce, with millions of people out of work and facing the loss of jobless benefits.
