WASHINGTON – Statement from American Beverage President and CEO Kevin Keane on today’s Senate confirmation of the Honorable Sean Duffy as the next Secretary of the Department of Transportation: 

"American Beverage congratulates Sean Duffy on his confirmation as Secretary of the Department of Transportation. Throughout his distinguished career, Secretary Duffy has exemplified the leadership and integrity needed to bring a new era of America-first leadership to our transportation systems. 

Secretary Duffy understands the critical role our roadways, rails and airspace play in not only moving people and goods across our country but also in fueling our economy and protecting our national security. For America’s non-alcoholic beverage industry, strong transportation systems are essential to delivering the products Americans enjoy every day. We look forward to partnering with Secretary Duffy and his team to modernize trucking regulations, attract and retain a robust trucking workforce and enhance emergency supply chain flexibility through updated federal guidelines. 

Secretary Duffy’s ability to navigate complex policy challenges and work collaboratively with both policymakers and industry stakeholders will serve the Department of Transportation and the American people well."
