WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Derrick Van Orden released the following statement after former Wisconsin Congressman Sean Duffy was nominated by President-elect Donald J. Trump to serve as the Secretary of Transportation:
“President Trump made a fantastic selection with his nomination of Sean Duffy to serve as the next Secretary of Transportation. I have known Sean personally prior to my congressional service at our cafe in Butternut while he was representing Wisconsin’s Seventh Congressional District. Sean is a strong advocate for Wisconsinites and the American people, knows roads are not racist, and will bring the level of leadership needed at DoT to execute President Trump’s vision for rebuilding our bridges, highways, waterways, and more. I wish him great success in this new role and am looking forward to working with him to make our nation’s infrastructure strong again.”
