Small Business Group Supports Nomination of Julie Su as Labor Secretary, Encourages Lawmakers to Confirm Her to the Post Swiftly

Statement by Small Business for America’s Future Senior Advisor Rhett Buttle on Jule Su nomination


March 1, 2023–
We are pleased with the nomination of Julie Su as Labor Secretary. Her experience as deputy secretary and track record of supporting workers will make her well-suited for the role. 


Our economy is emerging from the pitfalls of the pandemic, with inflation beginning to ease, strong hiring, and new small business starts. In order for that momentum to continue we need quality jobs and Su has been leading the way to make sure that happens. 


She helped implement the Good Jobs Initiative that ensures that jobs created by key economic legislation like the CHIPS and Science Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law are accessible, pay well and are free from discrimination. 


Su takes great pride in her Asian heritage and will bring more diversity to the current administration. 


We appreciate the leadership of outgoing Secretary Marty Walsh and know Su will continue that same work ethic as head of our nation’s Labor Department. 


We urge the US Senate to act swiftly and approve her nomination.
