Donald Trump’s latest power move looks to set the nation’s transportation system back on track. He has chosen former Congressman Sean Duffy of Wisconsin, a name that brings to mind a breath of fresh conservative air, as his Secretary of Transportation. Duffy’s impressive background as a District Attorney and later as a congressman showcases his dedication to public service, a stark contrast to some of the more questionable qualifications seen in the past administration.
With Duffy now at the helm, the focus will be on real priorities: Excellence, Competence, Competitiveness, and let’s not forget, Beauty. Those may not have been the watchwords during the tenure of the previous Secretary, who seemed more concerned with personal self-promotion than infrastructure improvements. Under Duffy’s leadership, the emphasis will be on shoring up America’s crumbling highways, bridges, and airports. It’s about time someone decided to put some muscle behind maintaining the very bones of the nation’s infrastructure.

Speaking of infrastructure, Duffy is expected to make significant changes that prioritize American security alongside economic efficiency. It’s refreshing to see a leader intent on ensuring that our transportation systems function seamlessly without the unnecessary shackles of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion forced upon the crucial roles of pilots and air traffic controllers. Instead of pushing these agendas, Duffy will focus on safety and practicality as we all know that when it comes to air travel, we want our pilots to be the best, not necessarily the most “inclusive.”
Let’s not forget that Duffy will be inheriting a department currently under the management of Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, whose time was riddled with controversy, including catastrophic train derailments and a plethora of canceled flights. In a drastic shift from that chaotic leadership, Duffy embodies a forward-thinking approach that promises to remedy past failures with actionable plans—imagine the contrast: a Secretary of Transportation who actually cares about transporting people effectively and safely.
In the end, it appears that the days of bureaucratic confusion and delays may be numbered. With a clear and competent leader like Sean Duffy stepping in, there is hope on the horizon for a transportation system that keeps pace with the demands of American life. It seems voters can finally look forward to seeing real improvements in infrastructure that serve the hardworking citizens of this country rather than serving up endless excuses and delays.
