Alexander Acosta

"I am deeply grateful and honored for the opportunity to serve my country. [...] I thank the President and his staff for their confidence in me and I am eager to work tirelessly on behalf of the American worker"

"Throughout his career, Alex Acosta has been a passionate advocate for equal opportunity for all Americans. [...] His extensive experience has tremendously impressed me and my team and makes us confident that he will lead the Department of Labor with the utmost competence and determination to support the American worker. The American worker had been forgotten and left behind. That ended when I became President on January 20. Alex is going to be a key part of achieving our goal of revitalizing the American economy, manufacturing, and labor force. I call on the Senate to swiftly confirm this highly qualified and deserving leader so that he can get straight to work for the betterment of the American people."
