NewDEAL Alumnus Pete Buttigieg, President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Department of Transportation, testified before the Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday, emphasizing he’ll bring a local perspective to the top transportation job. If confirmed, Buttigieg would be the second NewDEALer to lead the Department of Transportation after Secretary Anthony Foxx, also a former mayor, served in the Obama administration. He would also be the first openly gay member of a Cabinet to be confirmed by the Senate. As the Washington Post reports, Buttigieg was a leader in innovative transportation policy as mayor, and he offers a perspective on the importance of an effective federal partnership with states and cities. Take a look at the NewDEAL Forum Renewing America Task Force's white paper on effective policy to restore trust in transit and expand access for a taste of what could get done with a friend to states and cities leading the Department of Transportation.
