WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump said Monday that he is naming former Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy as his nominee for transportation secretary as he

continues to make suggestions for his Cabinet. Duffy is a former reality TV star who was one of Trump's most visible defenders on cable news - a key focus of the media-oriented

president-elect. Duffy served in the House for nearly nine years, serving on the Financial Services Committee and chairing the Subcommittee on Insurance and Housing. He left

Congress in 2019 and now co-hosts a show on Fox Business, “Bottom Line.” In his announcement Monday, Trump noted that Duffy was married to a Fox News host and called him "the

husband of a wonderful woman, Rachel Campos-Duffy, a STAR at Fox News." Trump said Duffy would use his experience and relationships built over the years in Congress "to maintain

and rebuild our nation's infrastructure and fulfill our mission of ushering in the Golden Age of Travel, with an emphasis on safety, efficiency and Innovation lies.” Importantly,

it will dramatically improve the travel experience for all Americans!” Duffy ruled out running for governor of Wisconsin in 2022, despite Trump's request to run. He said he

needed time to attend to the needs of his family of nine and posted on social media that his youngest child had a heart condition. He is a former lumberjack athlete and a regular

contributor to Fox News. He appeared in the 1997 MTV series “The Real World: Boston.” He met his future wife on the set of MTV's "Road Rules: All Stars" in 1998. He was a

special prosecutor and Ashland County district attorney who won election to Congress in 2010 as part of a Tea Party wave. He served until his resignation in 2019.
