Washington, D.C. — OCA - Asian Pacific American Advocates released the following statement regarding President Biden’s recent nomination of Julie A. Su to serve as the next U.S. Secretary of Labor. 

We are encouraged to see that President Biden has announced his nomination of Julie A. Su to be the next Secretary of Labor. This shows the Administration’s continued commitment to ensuring that Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) are represented throughout the U.S. government. 

We congratulate Deputy Secretary Su, who if confirmed, will be the first Asian American Cabinet Secretary in the Biden Administration. We look forward to continuing our work together with the administration to empower and promote AANHPIs at the national, state, and local levels.
