Donald Trump has named Russell Vought of Virginia as the next director of the Office of Management and Budget.
“He did an excellent job serving in this role in my First Term – We cut four Regulations for every new Regulation, and it was a Great Success! Russ graduated with a B.A. from Wheaton College, and received his J.D. from the Washington University School of Law. Russ has spent many years working in Public Policy in Washington, D.C., and is an aggressive cost cutter and deregulator who will help us implement our America First Agenda across all Agencies,” Trump said.
And Vought knows the Deep State and weaponized government, and will help Trump dismantle the massive and crippling bureaucracy, which voters gave him a mandate to do.
Vought was married to Mary Vought, former aide to then-Rep.Mike Pence and Michele Bachmann, who was hired by Gov. Mike Dunleavy as a communications consultant. Mary Vought grew up in Alaska and attended Colony Middle School in Palmer. The couple has divorced.
Legacy media has tried to paint him as an architect of Project 2025, a plan to reduce the size of government and end its crushing impact on the lives of Americans.
