WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump said Monday he has named former Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy as his nominee for transportation secretary as he continues to roll out picks for his Cabinet.

Duffy is a former reality TV star who was one of Trump’s most visible defenders on cable news — a primary concern for the media-oriented president-elect. Duffy served in the House of Representatives for nearly nine years, served on the Financial Services Committee and chaired the Insurance and Housing Subcommittee. He left Congress in 2019 and now co-hosts a show on Fox Business called the “Bottom Line.”

In his announcement Monday, Trump noted that Duffy is married to a Fox News host and called him “the husband of an amazing woman, Rachel Campos-Duffy, a STAR on Fox News.”

Trump said Duffy would use his experience and relationships built over the years in Congress “to preserve and rebuild our nation’s infrastructure and fulfill our mission of ushering in the Golden Age of travel, with an emphasis on safety, efficiency and innovation. Importantly, he will vastly improve the travel experience for all Americans!”

Duffy ruled out a run for Wisconsin governor in 2022 despite pleas from Trump to make a bid. He said he needed time to care for the needs of his family of nine children, and posted on social media that his youngest child had a heart condition.

He is a former lumberjack athlete and regular contributor to Fox News. He appeared on MTV’s ‘The Real World: Boston’ in 1997. He met his future wife on the set of MTV’s ‘Road Rules: All Stars’ in 1998.

He was a special prosecutor and district attorney in Ashland County who won election to Congress in 2010 as part of a tea party wave. He served until his resignation in 2019.
