WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) released the following statement after former Congressman Sean Duffy was confirmed as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT):

“With a long record of public service and proven ability to skillfully communicate President Trump’s agenda, Sean Duffy will lead the Department of Transportation with efficiency, innovation, and common sense. Given that Texas boasts some of the busiest airports, longest highways, and largest transportation systems in the country, I look forward to working hand-in-glove with Sean to keep the woke environmental agenda out of our transportation policy and reprioritize putting the safety of American families first.”
