WASHINGTON (CNN) – President-elect Barack Obama has selected California Rep. Hilda Solis to serve as secretary of labor, a Washington-based labor official for a major union told CNN's John King Thursday. Solis, a four-term Democrat from Los Angeles, is considered to be one of the most liberal members of the House.

Matthew Martinez in a bitter Democratic primary in 2000. Updated 2:15 p.m. Filed under: Obama transition |
