I am writing to express my strong opposition to the nomination of Russell Vought as Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). His record raises serious concerns about his ability to lead this critical agency in a manner that prioritizes the public good over partisan interests.
Mr. Vought’s close ties to ideological organizations and his leadership in efforts like Project 2025 suggest a troubling conflict of interest. These affiliations indicate that he may prioritize advancing narrow political agendas over impartial governance. The OMB is responsible for managing federal resources and ensuring fiscal accountability, and it must remain free from undue influence or partisanship. Allowing someone with such strong ideological leanings to lead this agency could compromise its integrity and effectiveness.
Furthermore, Mr. Vought’s support for policies that undermine the independence of the civil service, such as efforts to replace career professionals with political appointees, threatens the professionalism and stability of our government institutions. This approach risks politicizing agencies that should remain focused on serving all Americans, not just advancing the goals of a particular administration or its allies.
The Director of OMB must demonstrate a commitment to fairness, transparency, and respect for democratic principles—qualities that Mr. Vought’s record does not reflect. His history suggests he would use this position to further partisan objectives rather than uphold the nonpartisan stewardship required for this role.
I urge you to oppose this nomination and ensure that this critical position is filled by someone who will act in the best interests of the American people rather than serve political patrons or ideological agendas. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
