Anthony Renard Foxx (born April 30, 1971) is an American lawyer and politician who served as the United States Secretary of Transportation from 2013 to 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, Foxx had previously served as Mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina from 2009 to 2013.[1] First elected to the Charlotte City Council in 2005, his 2009 mayoral victory made him the youngest person to serve as Charlotte's mayor, as well as the second African American to hold the role.[2]
Foxx was nominated to the position of Secretary of Transportation by President Barack Obama in April 2013.[3][4] He went on to be confirmed in a 100–0 vote in June 2013.[5][6] Upon taking office, he became the youngest Cabinet secretary serving at the time.[7] After leaving office, Foxx joined rideshare company Lyft as chief policy officer in 2018.[8] Foxx left his role as chief policy officer in October 2021, but continued to serve as an advisor to the company.[9]
