Sean Duffy is Donald Trump’s nominee to be the secretary of transportation, the Republican president-elect announced on Monday.

Duffy, 53, is a former representative from Wisconsin, a former prosecutor, and a current Fox News contributor who also hosts the Fox show The Bottom Line. Duffy is the second Fox contributor to be nominated for a spot in Trump’s administration, after Fox and Friends Weekend co-host Pete Hegseth — who is also a combat veteran and two-time recipient of the Bronze Star Medal — was nominated to be secretary of defense last week.

“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 in a statement. “Admired across the aisle, Sean worked with Democrats to clear extensive Legislative hurdles to build the largest road and bridge project in Minnesota History.”

“Sean’s leadership extended to championing the needs of families, farmers, and small businesses, especially in rural communities,” Trump continued. “He will prioritize Excellence, Competence, Competitiveness and Beauty when rebuilding America’s highways, tunnels, bridges and airports. He will ensure our ports and dams serve our Economy without compromising our National Security, and he will make our skies safe again by eliminating DEI for pilots and air traffic controllers.”

An ardent Trump supporter, Duffy was a member of the U.S. House of Representative from Wisconsin’s seventh district for eight years. During his tenure there, he was a member of the Financial Services Committee and chaired the subcommittee on insurance and housing. Duffy and Rachel Campos-Duffy, his fellow Fox News host, have nine children.

“Sean knows how important it is for families to be able to travel safely, and with peace of mind,” Trump added.

New York Representative Elise Stefanik, Trump’s pick for United Nations ambassador, called the nomination a “great choice” on social media, adding, “Sean Duffy is a friend and former colleague who will be outstanding as our next Secretary of Transportation bringing America First principles to President Trump’s Department of Transportation.”

Duffy is a St. Mary’s University graduate and has a J.D. from William Mitchell College of Law. If confirmed, the Wisconsin native will succeed Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg.
