of Labor's Employee Benefit Security Administration, or EBSA.
  EBSA has the massive task of helping retirees recover the benefits 
they are entitled to and forcing protections for people who get their 
healthcare coverage through their job, and overseeing millions of 
retirement plans, health plans, and other welfare benefit plans.
  We need a strong leader at EBSA who will protect families' savings 
and futures and make sure people get the benefits they deserve under 
Federal law.
  We need someone like Lisa Gomez. Ms. Gomez is a highly respected 
professional in the field of employee benefits law, who has represented 
a wide range of health plans, retirement plans, and more. And I am 
confident as Assistant Secretary she will fight to hold employers 
accountable to the law, ensure workers get the benefits they are owed, 
and protect families' financial security, and I strongly urge all of my 
colleagues to join me in voting to confirm her.
