✅ Russ Vought: A Dangerous Nominee for Office of Management and Budget Director
Additional Resources
America deserves leadership grounded in unity and dedicated to the greater good, not driven by extreme political ideologies. Russell Vought is a clear and present danger to everyday Americans and should be removed from serious consideration for the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) role.
Russ Vought's track record and role in Project 2025 reveal a calculated effort to dismantle institutional protections, expand presidential authority, and erode federal agency independence. Installing Russ Vought as Executive Director of OMB directly threatens public programs, economic stability, and the democratic principles we rely on. Vought, who currently heads an extremist MAGA organization, is unfit to manage America's budget and far too extreme to prioritize the health, safety, well-being, and public good of the American people.
