Chairman Graham Statement on Committee Advancing Vought’s Nomination

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, today made this statement after the committee voted to advance Russ Vought’s nomination to be Director of the Office of Management and Budget to the floor.  

“I was very pleased that Russ Vought was reported out of the Budget Committee unanimously by those in attendance — all Republicans. 

“My Democratic colleagues decided to boycott, which is their right. The markup was short and pleasant. They were missed… Sort of.”
