| https://dankildee.house.gov/media/press-releases/statement-congressman-dan-kildee-president-elect-biden-s-nomination-mayor-pete | Statement by Congressman Dan Kildee on President-elect Bidens Nomination of Mayor Pete Buttigieg as Secretary of Transportation | 2020-12-15 | 2020 | 2020-12 | Democrat | Senate | MI | Dan Kildee | K000380 | dankildee.house.gov | legacy | "Pete Buttigiegis a fantastic choice for Transportation Secretary. As a mayor, Pete understands the importance of investing in our roads, bridges and water systems. Pete knows that improving our infrastructure will create good-paying American jobs and make us more competitive as a nation. And being from the Midwest, Pete knows first-hand the challenges many older, industrial communities like South Bend, Flint and Saginaw face. I look forward to working with President-elect Biden and Pete Buttigieg to pass a bipartisan and bold infrastructure plan that meets our country's needs. If confirmed, Pete would be the first openlyLGBTQ cabinet secretary, a truly historic moment for our country. The U.S. Senate should quickly consider and confirm Pete Buttigieg after our new president is sworn in next month" | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
