Former Rep. Sean Duffy (R-Wis.) has vowed to prioritize safety at the Department of Transportation, saying it would remain the top priority with aviation if he is confirmed by the Senate to lead the agency.
Duffy opened with those promises during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on Jan. 15. Throughout questioning from senators of both parties, Duffy said he endorses the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) continuing its oversight of Boeing, supports continued infrastructure funding, and wants full transparency on the mystery drones reported over multiple U.S. states for the past several months.
