Op-Ed: Rep. Marc Molinaro: Why Sean Duffy is a perfect pick to run the Department of Transportation

As a former congressman and advocate for rural America, Sean Duffy comes as an inspired choice for Secretary of the Department of Transportation. His appointment signals a renewed focus on bridging the transportation and infrastructure gaps that have long hindered economic growth in communities across the country.

During his time in Congress, Duffy earned a reputation as a pragmatic policymaker who understood the unique challenges facing rural and suburban communities. Representing Wisconsin’s 7th District — one of the largest rural districts in the country — Duffy developed a firsthand understanding of how critical infrastructure is to economic vibrancy. His commitment to modernizing roads, bridges, and railways while advocating for equitable transportation funding resonates with Americans who often feel left behind by federal priorities skewed toward urban centers.

Like President Donald Trump, Duffy’s pro-growth philosophy aligns well with addressing the nation’s pressing infrastructure needs. He has consistently supported public-private partnerships as ways to deliver large-scale projects more efficiently, crucial in an era where we must move projects faster to meet the demands of a crumbling infrastructure — all while shrinking federal bureaucracies!

His track record of working with both parties to secure wins demonstrates his ability to navigate the complexities of federal policy without losing sight of local concerns.

Moreover, Duffy’s experience as a media-savvy communicator equips him to rally public support behind transformative infrastructure projects. At a time when the Department of Transportation needs not only a manager but a capable leader, Duffy’s ability to articulate a bold vision for 21st-century transportation could inspire bipartisan collaboration and renew public confidence.

Leadership, advocacy, and the ability to connect with Americans from diverse backgrounds are indispensable qualities for this role. With the right team along side him, Duffy’s strategic vision could drive meaningful progress and usher in President Trump’s broader vision to rebuild American communities, streamline infrastructure projects, and deliver a smaller, smarter and a more efficient federal government.

Sean Duffy embodies a blend of rural sensibilities and forward-thinking policy acumen — qualities that make him an excellent choice to lead the Department of Transportation.
