Oppose Russell Vought for OMB Director
Trump has nominated Project 2025 author Russell Vought to be Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The OMB is the federal agency tasked with oversight and administration of the federal budget as approved by Congress; it came into the spotlight on January 28th when acting OMB Director Matthew Veath unlawfully froze all federal funding, creating confusion and chaos across the country.
This unconstitutional reassignment of the “power of the purse” from Congress to the Executive Branch is a key element of Project 2025, which cites the OMB as the linchpin of this power grab. In his Project 2025 chapter, Russell Vought wrote that the President “should use every possible tool to propose and impose fiscal discipline on the federal government. Anything short of that would constitute abject failure.”
It is clear that if confirmed as OMB Director, Russell Vought will work to empower an already reckless and authoritarian Executive Branch and harm millions of people around the country who depend on federally funded programs.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I’m calling to demand [REP/SEN NAME] vote against the confirmation of Russell Vought as Director of the Office of Management and Budget. His enthusiastic support for the blatantly unconstitutional federal funding freeze and other misuses of financial power renders him unfit to serve as our government’s budget chief.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
