Trump Selects Former Rep. Sean Duffy for Transportation Secretary 👉 Updatem News

The 53-year-old Fox Business co-host was a representative for Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District from 2011 to 2019.

Former Congressman Sean Duffy has been tapped by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as the next Secretary of Transportation.

A representative for Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District from 2011 to 2019, the 53-year-old Fox Business co-host was a member of the House Financial Services Committee.

“During his time in Congress, Sean was a respected voice and communicator in the Republican Conference, advocating for Fiscal Responsibility, Economic Growth, and Rural Development,” Trump said in a transition update. “Admired across the aisle, Sean worked with Democrats to clear extensive Legislative hurdles to build the largest road and bridge project in Minnesota History.”

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s mission is “to deliver the world’s leading transportation system, serving the American people and economy through the safe, efficient, sustainable, and equitable movement of people and goods.”

It includes the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal Transit Administration, the Federal Railroad Administration, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, among other agencies.

Trump said Duffy “will ensure our ports and dams serve our Economy without compromising our National Security, and he will make our skies safe again by eliminating DEI for pilots and air traffic controllers.”

The current secretary is Pete Buttigieg. During Trump’s first term, Elaine Chao, the former secretary of labor and the wife of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), led the department.
