WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, R-Miss., a senior member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, today met with Elaine Chao, President-elect Trump’s choice to be Secretary of Transportation.

“Secretary Chao has decades of experience in public service and firsthand knowledge of serving in a President’s cabinet,” Wicker said. “She is well-prepared to help President-elect Trump tackle our nation’s many infrastructure challenges. The President-elect has a bold plan to improve America’s roads, bridges, ports, waterways, and airports. He could not have chosen a better person for the job.”
