Dec. 5, 2024, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement urging the Senate to confirm President-elect Donald’s Trump nomination to head the Office of Management and Budget, Russ Vought:
“Russ Vought is the best possible choice to head the Office of Management and Budget in President Trump’s second term. It should be remembered that Vought served in President Trump’s first term as the Acting OMB Director and during his confirmation was attacked by Senate Democrats for being a Christian, as strange as that sounds.
“But Mr. Vought’s importance to the Trump administration is really found in his dedication to limited, constitutional government principles. As the Elon Musk/Vivek Ramaswamy led DOGE commission gets headlines, it will be Russ Vought and his crew at OMB who will be reviewing and ultimately approving every regulatory and budgetary change, doing the real hard work of putting into action what others propose. If I were to personally choose a Director for the Office of Management and Budget, it would be Russ Vought, who I have known for years and has the competence, intelligence and experience to make the needed reorganization of the federal government to bring the deficit and out of control administrative state under control.
“Donald Trump was elected President to fundamentally transform administrative state abuses and overreaches, and Russ Vought will be the man who makes those promises happen. America needs Russ Vought as OMB Director and the Senate should move without delay to put him in place Day One of the Trump second term.”
