U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA) released the following statement after the President announced his intent to nominate Marie Therese Dominguez as Administrator of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), U.S. Department of Transportation:
"I have known Marie Therese for several years, and I fully support her nomination to be PHMSA Administrator. She brings years of experience in both private and public sector management. She has a strong background in infrastructure development and oversight through her work with the Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works program. As PHMSA Administrator, she will be faced with very challenging issues, from pipeline safety to the safe transport of crude oil by rail. I know she will be up to the task."
