McConnell Proud to Confirm Vought as OMB Director

Washington, D.C.
–
U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued the following statement today regarding the confirmation of Russell Vought as Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB):
“America faces growing budgetary challenges as well as growing foreign threats that undermine our economic prosperity and national security. In its work to preserve America’s economic and geopolitical primacy, the Administration must simultaneously put its fiscal house in order and make the serious investments required to restore peace through strength. Mr. Vought is experienced and demonstrably qualified to lead the Office of Management and Budget, and I look forward to working with him and President Trump to address these looming challenges. Congress has inherent Constitutional authority to appropriate funds and an obligation to provide for the common defense. I hope and expect Mr. Vought will coordinate closely with Congress in this vital work.”
