Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao is resigning, effective Monday, Jan. 11, the first member of President Donald Trump’s cabinet to leave in the wake of the Jan. 6 mob of his supporters breaching the U.S. Capitol.
According to the White House, regulatory red tape routinely holds up major infrastructure projects for years at significant cost to the economy.
As expected, Elaine Chao was easily confirmed in largely bipartisan fashion on Jan. 31 as Secretary of Transportation by the U.S. Senate.
President-elect Donald Trump will nominate Elaine Chao to serve as secretary of transportation. She served as secretary of labor throughout President George W. Bush’s two terms and as deputy secretary of transportation under President George H. W. Bush.
