May 28, 2020, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement urging the U.S. Senate to confirm Russ Vought as the next Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget:
“Russ Vought is the right man for the job of Director of the Office of Management and Budget, having already ably served as deputy and acting director of OMB during Mick Mulvaney’s tenures at the Consumer Finance Protection Board and White House Chief of Staff. With unprecedented levels of emergency spending to deal with the pandemic-caused recession, U.S. taxpayers need a smart steward of their tax dollars to carefully protect all of the additional spending from waste and fraud. In addition, Vought has already carefully managed OMB’s other duty of reviewing regulations to ensure compliance with federal law and administration policy. There is no one more qualified to meet our nation’s fiscal and regulatory challenges than Russ Vought.”
