Jan. 15, 2025
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) introduced former U.S. Representative Sean Duffy, nominee for Secretary of the Department of Transportation (DOT), in the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. As a member of the committee, Senator Baldwin also pressed former Rep. Duffy on the incoming Trump Administration’s commitment to keeping in place her long-championed Buy America rules, which ensure taxpayer dollars spent on infrastructure are supporting American businesses and jobs.
“It is critical we have a Secretary of Transportation who understands Wisconsin’s needs and will help us keep families safe when they travel, businesses able to get their products on shelves on time, and keep our Made in Wisconsin economy moving forward,” said Senator Baldwin. “We haven’t always agreed, and I’m certain that will continue to be true, but at the end of the day, I am confident Sean is the right guy to help deliver for Wisconsin families, businesses, and workers.”
If the Committee approves his nomination to be DOT Secretary, former Representative Duffy will advance to a confirmation vote by the whole Senate.
