Martin Joseph "Marty" Walsh (born April 10, 1967) is an American politician. Walsh was the 29th United States Secretary of Labor from March 23, 2021 to March 11, 2023. He was the 54th Mayor of Boston, Massachusetts from 2014 until 2021.[2] He was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1997 until 2014 and representing the Thirteenth Suffolk district.
On January 7, 2021 then President-elect Joe Biden nominated Walsh to be United States Secretary of Labor under his administration.[3] The nomination was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 22, 2021, by a vote of 68–29.[4][5]
On February 7, 2023, it was reported that Walsh would leave the Biden Cabinet to become head of the NHLPA, the NHL players' union.[6]
In February 2024, President Biden nominated Walsh to serve as a governor of the United States Postal Service.[7][8][7] However, Biden withdrew his nomination in November 2024, after several Republican senators slowed down his nomination confirmation.[9]
