Former Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Labor Department, advanced out of committee on Thursday because of support from Democrats.

Chavez-DeRemer, 56, was voted out of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions in a 13-9 vote. Sens. Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Tim Kaine (D-VA), and John Hickenlooper (D-CO) joined Republicans in voting to push forward her nomination. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) voted against her advancing from committee.
