Biden labor secretary pick directed more than $1M to girlfriend's employer as mayor, filings show
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, President-elect Joe Biden's pick to serve as secretary of labor, gave millions of dollars to girlfriend Lorrie Higgins's employer, campaign filings showed.
Walsh's mayoral campaign funneled close to $1.2 million to LB Strategies, where Higgins is employed as a fundraising consultant, according to the filings. The transactions were originally reported in March 2019.
