Lori Chavez-DeRemer used her position as Secretary of Labor to groom federal employees for her sexual predator husband and father.

"In addition, text messages reviewed by the New York Times show that on numerous occasions, Chavez-DeRemer’s father, Richard Chavez, communicated with young female members of his daughter’s staff..."

"One message sent by Chavez to a female staffer read, “Hearing u/r in town. Wishing you would let me know. I could have made some excuses to get out and show u around. Please keep this private.”"

"After she apologized for not reaching out and assured him she would be back in Oregon soon, Chavez replied, “When are u leaving an where u staying.”"

"The same staffer had also fielded texts from DeRemer, and, like with Chavez, apologized for not being in touch and promised to check in."

"“You better,” DeRemer replied. “I was feeling forgotten. I figured you were still in church repenting after your exposure to the demon state of Oregon.”"

Oregon's former congressional representative.

"The labor secretary and her close aides are currently under investigation by the department’s inspector general over allegations of professional misconduct."

"These include claims that Chavez-DeRemer had an affair with a member of her security detail and used government resources for personal travel, while her aides allegedly sought to channel grants towards politically connected figures..."

"In addition, the secretary’s husband, Shawn DeRemer, an anesthesiologist, was barred from the department’s headquarters after allegations by at least two female staff members that he had sexually assaulted them. The women told department officials that Shawn DeRemer had touched them inappropriately at the department’s building on Constitution Avenue in Washington."

"Experts highlight value of local voting ahead of May elections"

"Autocrats fear [voting] That’s why they try to manipulate it, why they try to control elections. They’re afraid of what elections can do.”

"One vote can make a difference, especially at the state and local levels during midterm elections like the one coming in Oregon May 19"

“the bigger issue that councilors are ignoring is that drivers took the work knowing they would not be employees. The biggest benefit of the gig economy is the flexibility people gain.”
