Lori Chavez-DeRemer, a Republican U.S. Rep. from Oregon who was recently nominated to be labor secretary in the Trump administration, said she received a pipe bomb threat at her home in Clackamas County on Tuesday evening.

Chavez-DeRemer posted on the social media platform X – formerly known as Twitter – that the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office had responded to the threat and that she and her family were safe.

“We greatly appreciate their commitment to protecting our community, especially as Thanksgiving approaches,” Chavez-DeRemer said. “This type of violence harms not only those targeted, but entire communities.”

Chavez-DeRemer was one of “several” Cabinet members who received threats on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, a spokesman for President-elect Donald Trump said in a statement on Wednesday.

“These attacks ranged from bomb threats to ‘swatting,'” the statement said, referring to a false threat specifically intended to provoke a response from a law enforcement unit such as a SWAT team. “In response, law enforcement and other agencies acted quickly to ensure the safety of those targeted.”

Chavez-DeRemer lost her re-election bid earlier this month. President Donald Trump announced his decision to nominate her as labor secretary last Friday. In this role, she would oversee the U.S. Department of Labor’s workforce and budget and focus on the rights and welfare of employers and employees.

A spokesman for Chavez-DeRemer did not immediately respond seeking further information. A spokesman for the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that authorities had responded to the threat and “further investigation is being conducted by the FBI.”

Chavez-DeRemer lives in Happy Valley, where she served as mayor before being elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2022. She said the latest threat “will not deter President Trump and the team he has assembled from getting the job done on behalf of the American people.”
