Solís, 51, will enter this fray after her expected Senate confirmation. The daughter of immigrants, Solís has represented East Los Angeles in Congress, and she also served in the California State Assembly and Senate, where she worked to pass an increase in the state minimum wage. Unions applauded her nomination, citing her work on behalf of union organizing and higher wages. Hispanic congressional leaders also endorse the choice.

“Congresswoman Solís has long been an advocate for America’s hardworking men and women, and I can think of no better person to repair an agency that has been out of touch with the American work force for the last eight years,” says Rep. Rubén Hinojosa, D-Texas, a member of the House Community College Caucus and chairman of the House Postsecondary Education Subcommittee.

Hinojosa’s subcommittee has oversight over WIA’s renewal, and he says he looks forward to working with the new secretary to craft a comprehensive new bill.
