WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK), a member of the Senate, Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, today released the following statement after questioning Elaine Chao, nominated to be the next secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation, in a committee hearing.
“Elaine Chao is an ideal candidate to lead the Department of Transportation, and I appreciate her commitment to come to Alaska to see the unique challenges and opportunities when it comes to our infrastructure,” said Senator Dan Sullivan. “Ms. Chao also committed to working with me on significant reforms of the federal permitting system, including stopping the politicization of the process we’ve seen take place during the Obama administration, so that any new major infrastructure investment does not waste taxpayer dollars and delivers projects in a timely and cost-effective manner.”
