U.S. Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer is traveling across the country as part of her "America at Work" listening tour to promote President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill. The bill, which passed the U.S. Senate today, aims to provide significant tax cuts for working families and small businesses.
During her tour, Secretary Chavez-DeRemer visited Shafer, a ready-mix concrete supplier in Lansing, Michigan, and Brinkley RV, a manufacturing start-up in Goshen, Indiana. These visits allowed her to engage directly with American workers who are expected to benefit from the legislation.
“I continue to be inspired by the American entrepreneurial spirit shown by the hardworking men and women I’ve met on my listening tour,” said Secretary Chavez-DeRemer. She emphasized that President Trump's proposal includes “the largest tax cut in history for working families, no tax on overtime, and a lower tax burden on small businesses.”
Deputy Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling accompanied Chavez-DeRemer on the tour. He stated, “For the first time in decades, American workers have a President who is fighting to put them first."
In Lansing, Reps. John James and Tom Barrett joined Secretary Chavez-DeRemer and Deputy Secretary Sonderling for a tour of Shafer’s facilities. Rep. James noted that “President Donald J. Trump is focused on growth, not red tape.” Rep. Barrett added that years of overregulation had previously hindered economic growth in mid-Michigan.
The tour concluded at Brinkley RV in Goshen with Rep. Rudy Yakym joining Chavez-DeRemer. Rep. Yakym expressed gratitude for the visit and highlighted the importance of innovation and excellence in Indiana’s Second District.
Secretary Chavez-DeRemer's "America at Work" tour began in early April and has included stops in Montana and Louisiana as well.
