President-elect Donald Trump on Monday named former congressman and Fox Business host Sean Duffy as his pick for transportation secretary in the next administration.
In a statement announcing Duffy, Trump described the Wisconsin Republican as a “a tremendous and well-liked public servant.”
“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.
The transportation post requires Senate confirmation.
Duffy, 53, served in the House from 2011 to 2019. He stepped down in September 2019 after he saying he learned that his child would be born with a heart condition.
Duffy first gained attention after appearing on “The Real World: Boston,” a reality TV series on MTV, in 1997.
