In November 2020, Su was named a candidate for United States Secretary of Labor in the Joe Biden administration.[4][5] On February 13, 2021, Biden nominated her to be United States Deputy Secretary of Labor.[6] On July 13, 2021 Su was confirmed to the role by the United States Senate, in a 50–47 party line vote.[7]
