  • Michael Floyd McGowan (born May 17, 1951) is the current United States Secretary of Transportation, having been confirmed on February 10, 2013. Previously, McGowan served as the Ambassador to Oceania from 2000 to 2005, as the junior US Senator from Illinois between 1993-1999, and represented Illinoi's 16th District from 1989-1993. McGowan was a graduate of the Naval Academy and became an assistant prosecutor in Rockford after his service was over, service which ended with a nearly-fatal back injury in a storm in the South China Sea in which he was swept overboard when the USS Montauk ran aground on a reef near the Spratly Islands. He is a member of the National Party. McGowan rose to national fame at a young age when, while running for US Senate to replace the retiring Alan J. Dixon in 1992, he gave a well-received speech at the 1992 National Party Convention in Houston, eclipsing keynote speaker George Steinbrenner and even nominees President Robert Redford and Vice President George Bush. He would win that fall's Senate election in Illinois despite the Redford-Bush ticket losing the state. He declined to run for President in 1996 despite being the initial frontrunner, and his defeat in the 1998 Senate race following a scandal-ridden campaign killed his ambitions for higher office permanently.
