What is the status on the Hilda Solis nomination

Senate to take test vote on Solis

1 day ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate late Friday set a test vote for mid-February on Rep. Hilda Solis' nomination as labor secretary.

The California Democrat won committee approval this week after more than a month of delays over questions about tax liens that her husband recently paid and her role as a board member and treasurer of American Rights at Work. The nonprofit group is working to pass a bill to make it easier for workers to form unions.

A 60-vote majority will be required in the Feb. 24 test vote to advance Solis' nomination to a final vote.

While most members of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee voted for her confirmation earlier in the week, two were opposed.
