President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Elaine Chao, the former labor secretary and wife of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, to be his choice for transportation secretary, an official briefed on the matter told CNN on Tuesday.

Chao served as secretary of labor under President George W. Bush from 2001 through 2009 -- the longest tenure in the position since World War II -- and has been married to McConnell since 1993. She was the first Asian-American woman to serve in a Cabinet position.

Chao also served as the deputy secretary of transportation under President George H.W. Bush from 1989 to 1991.

  The CNN report talked about Trump wanting to move quickly on infrastructure projects.  I remember Obammy's shovel-ready projects: shoveling money into the pockets of terrorists and illegals at the expense of the rest of us.   Trump only has to patch a few miles worth of the nearest interstate hwy to top the steaming pile of bull that was Obama's "stimulus".
