WASHINGTON -- Today, Senator Maggie Hassan met with former Department of Labor Secretary Elaine Chao, who is President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Transportation. As a member of the Commerce, Science & Transportation Committee, Senator Hassan will participate in hearings on Secretary Chao's nomination.

"I had a constructive meeting with Secretary Chao today in which we discussed how we can strengthen our state and country's highways, roads and bridges to ensure that our transportation infrastructure meets the needs of a 21st century economy. We also discussed critical transportation projects for New Hampshire, including completing the expansion of I-93, and how the federal government can better support the state's efforts to improve and expand state infrastructure. I look forward to hearing more from Secretary Chao on her plans to improve our state and our country's infrastructure during the hearing process."
