The Senate voted 68-29 on Monday to confirm Boston Mayor Marty Walsh to lead the Department of Labor.
Why it matters: The Senate has now confirmed President Biden’s nominees for all 15 executive departments. Walsh will be tasked with overseeing an unemployment crisis brought on by COVID-19 and helping regulators navigate the new realities of a pandemic-era workforce.
Background: Walsh has served as Boston mayor since 2014. He was expected to run for a third term until being appointed to the administration role. The incoming secretary is a former construction worker and a strong ally of trade unions.
