Sean Duffy is the 20th U.S. Secretary of Transportation, confirmed by the Senate in January 2025 and sworn in on January 28, 2025. A former Republican Congressman representing Wisconsin's 7th District from 2011 to 2019, Duffy served on the House Financial Services Committee and chaired its Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.
Before politics, he was a district attorney in Ashland County with a 90% conviction rate, a champion lumberjack winning titles like the 1994 Lumberjack World Championship in speed climbing, and a reality TV star on MTV's The Real World: Boston(1997) and Road Rules: All Stars (1998).
Post-Congress, Duffy worked as a lobbyist at BGR Group, co-hosted Fox Business's The Bottom Line, and contributed to CNN before his Cabinet appointment.
As Secretary, he has prioritized safety reforms following incidents like a 2025 mid-air collision, opposed congestion pricing in New York by threatening federal fund cuts over subway crime, and advocated for reverting fuel economy standards while restricting funds to non-compliant local governments on immigration policies. Since July 9, 2025, he also serves as acting NASA administrator.
A graduate of St. Mary's College of Maryland (marketing) and William Mitchell College of Law, Duffy co-authored All American Christmas (2021) with his wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy. Father of nine, he champions family values, conservative policies, and infrastructure innovation.
