LCV Statement on Russell Vought Nomination to Lead OMB

Nov 22, 2024

Washington, D.C. —  In response to today’s announcement from Donald Trump that he intends to nominate Russell Vought to lead the Office of Management and Budget again, the League of Conservation Voters issued the following statement from Vice President of Federal Policy and former EPA scientist Matthew Davis:

“In case there was any doubt, Trump’s selection of a key co-author of Project 2025 makes crystal clear once again that he wasn’t serious about distancing himself from it. Vought has promised to traumatize civil servants and to ‘shut down’ agency funding to carry out his dangerous Project 2025 agenda, but we will fight him at every step and stand with these public servants who are dedicated to protecting our health, safety, environment, and the communities these agencies serve.”
