Former Wisconsin Congressman Sean Duffy
Nominated Transportation Secretary
November 19, 2024 - Washington DC
Monday evening President-elect Donald Trump named former Congressman Sean Duffy as his nominee for the U.S. Secretary of Transportation. Before resigning his seat in 2019, Representative Duffy was elected five (5) times to represent the 7th congressional district of Wisconsin.
Mr. Duffy will head a department that oversees agencies of critical importance to motorcyclists, including the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHA).
In the next two years, Congress must consider a new surface transportation authorization (AKA Highway Bill). Additionally, there remains the need for policymakers to balance new construction and maintenance priorities with the ever-dwindling dollars allocated for transportation projects.
Upon his confirmation, the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) looks forward to working with the new Secretary on our legislative priorities. His long track record in Congress working with groups like the MRF and ABATE of Wisconsin will hopefully enlighten his decision-making on issues that impact the millions of bikers on the road.
