Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who presided over the change of command, called Fagan a “trailblazer” and acknowledged female officers’ “essential role” in the Coast Guard throughout the service’s more than 230-year history.
“Coast Guard women have helped shape the service and pioneered the role of women in the federal government and the nation,” Mayorkas said. “Now, the Coast Guard has its first woman commandant. Today is a historic day for the United States Coast Guard, a historic day for the United States.” When it was her turn to speak, Fagan thanked Biden for his confidence, Mayorkas for his support, and Schultz for his leadership as he “guided this service through historic challenges.” She also said she was “immensely grateful to the many pioneers who have paved the way” for her to become commandant.
“I’m proud to be a part of this long history of service, dedication and ground-breaking,” Fagan said, “and I’m committed to carrying these principles forward.”

How do they know she's a woman?
Congratulations from the Willamette

Now fix gas prices.
Cheers to Adm. Linda Fagan
