“Julie Su will make an excellent Secretary of Labor and we are proud to support her nomination. Su, a daughter of immigrants, has a long history of advocating for the importance of language access and culturally competent work training programs.
“Deputy Secretary Su’s experience as Secretary of the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency—a state that ranks as the fifth largest economy in the world—makes her extraordinarily well-prepared to serve as our next Secretary of Labor and spur jobs and opportunities for all Americans.
“As the nation’s premier organization that advocates on behalf of over 2.5 million AANHPI older adults, we applaud President Biden for his commitment toward representation of our community on his Cabinet.”
