“Madam President, I rise in support of the nomination of Sean Duffy to be Secretary of Transportation. Last week, Congressman Duffy was reported favorably out of the Commerce Committee without a single ``no'' vote.

The resounding bipartisan support for his nomination demonstrates that Republicans and Democrats believe Congressman Duffy is eminently qualified to serve as the Secretary of Transportation.

All Americans depend on the Department of Transportation to help ensure a safe and sufficient transportation system. Congressman Duffy understands this. He is a five-term Congressman who reached across not just the aisle but across Chambers to bring home needed infrastructure to his district.
