Earthjustice Responds to Nomination of Russell Vought as Director of Office of Management and Budget 

“Nominating Russell Vought as Director of OMB is further proof that the incoming administration is dead set on carrying out Project 2025, even though it is deeply unpopular and will strip away people’s rights.”

After President-elect Trump announced that he will nominate Russell Vought to be Director of the Office of Management and Budget in his administration, Earthjustice President Abigail Dillen issued the following statement:

“Nominating Russell Vought as Director of OMB is further proof that the incoming administration is dead set on carrying out Project 2025, even though it is deeply unpopular and will strip away people’s rights. But we know their roadmap, and we have ours. We will challenge lawless actions at every turn to prevent the Trump administration from dismantling critical protections that we all depend on for our health, our safety, and our future.”
