“I look at all of the President’s nominees through the lens of ‘will you be good for Wisconsin.’ For this nominee, I am thinking about the big infrastructure projects in the pipeline to make sure families can get to school and work safely, our water is clean to drink and swim in, and our businesses can get their goods on shelves – and it will be critical to have a Secretary of Transportation who understands the need to see these projects through. Whoever is leading the Department of Transportation will also play a key role in building on our great bipartisan work to ensure that we use American companies, materials, and workers when we rebuild our infrastructure. I’ve worked with Sean before to deliver for Wisconsin, and I plan to support his nomination because I am confident that we can work together to keep Wisconsin families safe and our economy moving forward.”
