Blumenthal Votes to Confirm Pete Buttigieg as Secretary of Transportation

[WASHINGTON, D.C.] – U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), a member of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, voted today to approve the nomination of Pete Buttigieg to be Secretary of Transportation:

“After four years of all talk and no action on rebuilding American transit and key infrastructure, Pete Buttigieg will be a refreshing force for truly transformative progress. He’ll reinvigorate and reform the DOT. Pete Buttigieg knows firsthand how critical well-paved roads, new bridges, broadband, and reliable rail service are to every community. He is committed to the President’s bold plans to modernize our country’s infrastructure while prioritizing job creation and climate change resilience. He’ll be a great ally for public transit and intercity passenger rail. I was honored to cast my vote in favor of his confirmation today.”
