Washington, DC, Nov. 18, 2024 - National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) President and CEO Ed Bolen today issued the following statement regarding President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of former Rep. Sean Duffy (R-07-WI) as Department of Transportation (DOT) secretary.

"Sean Duffy's experience in Congress demonstrates his ability to work with lawmakers in navigating complex legislative processes, including the advancement of infrastructure and transportation policies," Bolen said. "Equally important, his representation of a predominantly rural congressional district gives him firsthand insight into the critical role of general aviation in towns with little or no airline service. We congratulate him on his nomination and look forward to his confirmation by the Senate."

Duffy served in the House for nearly nine years before leaving Congress in 2019. During his tenure, Duffy supported infrastructure policies including the 2018 FAA reauthorization bill.
