News-placeholder-9

Atlanta, GA – Tea Party Patriots President and co-founder Jenny Beth Martin released the following statement today, congratulating Rep. Mick Mulvaney on his confirmation as Director of the Office of Management and Budget.

“Tea Party Patriots and our network of supporters across the country congratulate Rep. Mick Mulvaney on his confirmation as the next Director of the Office of Management and Budget. The OMB Director has huge influence not only on the size and scope of the budget, but also on the regulations our federal agencies produce. Mick is well-known around Washington as a fiscal hawk. As a Congressman, he voted against raising the debt ceiling, helped lead the effort to oust former House Speaker John Boehner and consistently voted to cut government spending – whether the spending was proposed by Democrats or members of his own party. We thank President Trump for an outstanding choice in Mick Mulvaney to lead OMB and we look forward to working with both of them to cut spending, balance our budget and rein in the federal bureaucracy.”
