Elaine Chao has been announced as the president-elect's Secretary of Transportation. Since the FAA rolls up under her, I'm interested in knowing more about her. Most of the google links I can find are all about the announcement. I know she was Transportation Secretary under G. W. Bush and she has been a Labor Secretary too.

Can anyone help fill in the blanks? What does she stand for aviation wise and especially GA wise? Anything positive or negative stand out?

This is a legitimate aviation based request, please do not ruin this by injecting partisan opinions. For political bantering try here instead: http://www.pilotspin.com/
 
Mitch McConnels wife.
 
Aren't she and Nikki Haley both female Asian-Americans?
It may be political payback for campaign support but looking at his other picks, that obviously is not a litmus test.

But I think this was an important message:

Even if she is Asian-American, I suspect Mari will be closing this thread shortly.

Just another connected republican,so much for the swamp.
 
Well, she was deputy secretary of transportation. DOT is mostly a money shuffling enterprise, not a bad thing to have someone in there who 'knows how all of this works'. Her background is in maritime, not aviation, roads or rail, but that's certainly not a disqualification.
 
Great. What is her position in aviation and GA.
