President-elect Barack Obama will nominate Rep. Hilda Solis (D-Calif.) as Secretary of Labor, the Associated Press is reporting.
The fifth-term congresswoman from Los Angeles serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and is vice chair of the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee.
Should she be confirmed, Solis would be another Latina member of Obama’s cabinet, being the daughter of Mexican and Nicaraguan immigrants to the U.S.
