Reject Russell Vought's nomination to safeguard OMB integrity

Your continued support of Trump's inane and reckless cabinet nominees like Russell Vought indicates to your constituency that you value partisan power over the sanctity of democracy and democratic institutions. It is crucial to maintain the integrity of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) by selecting nominees whose actions align with democratic values. The OMB plays a pivotal role in implementing the president's agenda, and Vought's concerning ties to Project 2025 and his false claims about the 2020 election being "rigged" raise serious doubts about his ability to lead this office impartially. Furthermore, the recently rescinded memo freezing federal funding indicates a concerning disregard for proper governing processes under Vought's leadership. Confirming him could enable undemocratic actions that undermine public trust in our institutions. I urge you to carefully consider these issues and reject Vought's nomination to protect the OMB's integrity and commitment to serving all Americans fairly.
