WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement on Elaine Chao’s expected nomination to serve as Secretary of Transportation.

“Elaine Chao is a terrific choice. She’s highly respected on both sides of the political aisle and possesses a keen intellect and understanding of the legislative process. I’m sure she will be indispensable to President-elect Trump as he puts together an infrastructure bill which fixes our transportation problems and creates jobs.”
