(Washington, D.C.) – “The Republican Main Street Partnership applauds the Senate for its swift confirmation of long time Main Street member and former U.S. House Rep. Ray LaHood to serve as Secretary of Transportation.

Congressman LaHood had a distinguished career in the House – a career marked by a willingness to put partisan politics aside to work to find real solutions to the challenges facing our nation. We are confident that as Secretary of Transportation under President Obama, Ray will continue to show the type of bipartisan, results-oriented commitment that made him such a successful member of Congress.”

Main Street Partnership (RMSP) is dedicated to promoting and building a pragmatic, thoughtful, fiscally conservative, and inclusive “Governing Majority,” where political debate is encouraged to promote solutions to improve the lives of all Americans. Embracing the full spectrum of center-right ideologies and values in order to build coalitions, RMSP is the largest organization of elected leaders who are in the mold of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan.
