Sen. Cruz Issues Statement on Secretary of Labor Designee Andy Puzder

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) issued the following statement in support of President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Andy Puzder as his nominee for U.S. Secretary of Labor:

“Andy Puzder is a friend, an accomplished businessman, and a serious thinker. He will bring much-needed reform to the Department of Labor, and focus like a laser on reducing regulations, growing jobs, and increasing wages for American workers. After eight years of an Obama Labor Department that undermined workers’ right to work and decreased opportunities for upward mobility, Andy is a great choice to defend working men and women and spur economic growth. I look forward to supporting his nomination.”
