WASHINGTON – Please attribute the following statement to American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) President and CEO Dave Bauer: 

“ARTBA congratulates Rep. Sean Duffy on his pending nomination to be U.S. Secretary of Transportation. If confirmed, Rep. Duffy will be leading the Department of Transportation at a critical time, including continued deployment of record levels of federal highway, public transportation and airport infrastructure investments, and reauthorization of the surface transportation programs scheduled for 2026.

“While in Congress, Rep. Duffy worked on a number of transportation issues important to his state and region. In many of his public statements and actions, he reaffirmed the effectiveness of bipartisanship to ensure continued federal investments, and getting projects done. Rep. Duffy also stayed in regular contact with several ARTBA members in Wisconsin to better understand issues facing the transportation construction industry and its allies.
