WASHINGTON, D.C. (WRN) — Former Wisconsin congressman Sean Duffy was in Washington D.C. Wednesday for his confirmation hearing as President-elect Trump’s pick to be Secretary of Transportation.
Duffy says no federal agency impacts Americans’ daily lives more than the Department of Transportation.
“I’m honored to have the trust of President Trump, and hopefully this body, to lead such an important segment of our economy,” Duffy said. “Transportation influences how long it takes to get home to our loved ones and improving its safety and efficiency directly enhances every single American’s life.”
Duffy formerly represented Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District, located in northwestern and central Wisconsin.
