The Senate confirmed Tom Perez today as the U.S. Secretary of Labor. There was a party-line vote of 54-46, with no Republicans supporting President Obama's nominee. 

Mr. Perez has been serving as the Assistant U.S. Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice since 2009. He previously served as Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley’s Labor Secretary from 2007 until 2009.
