**West Palm Beach, FL – November 19, 2024** – President-elect Donald Trump announced Monday the nomination of former Wisconsin Representative Sean Duffy to serve as his Secretary of Transportation. Duffy, a prominent Trump supporter and Fox News contributor, will bring his experience in Congress and his strong media presence to the role.

Trump praised Duffy’s experience in Congress, where he served nearly nine years, including time on the Financial Services Committee and as chairman of the subcommittee on insurance and housing. The President-elect highlighted Duffy’s ability to “maintain and rebuild our nation’s infrastructure” and “elevate the travel experience for all Americans.”

Duffy, known for his appearances on Fox Business’ “Bottom Line,” is married to Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy, a fact Trump mentioned in his announcement. Before his political career, Duffy was a reality TV star, appearing on MTV’s “The Real World: Boston” and “Road Rules: All Stars.” He also served as a special prosecutor and Ashland County district attorney.

While Duffy had previously ruled out a run for Wisconsin governor in 2022 citing family needs, including a child’s heart condition, he will now take on the significant challenge of leading the Department of Transportation.
