WASHINGTON
-
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
statement
below
regarding
the
confirmation
of
Mick
Mulvaney
to
become
Director
of
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(OMB).
He
was
confirmed
by
the
Senate
51-49.
“I
can’t
think
of
a
better
person
than
Mick
to
bring
our
country
back
to
fiscal
discipline.
He
is
an
excellent
leader
and
someone
who
has
consistently
represented
conservative
principles,
especially
when
it
comes
to
our
budget.
I
am
confident
he
will
responsibly
address
our
nation’s
$20
trillion
debt
with
the
same
passion
he
has
shown
in
Congress
and
restore
fiscal
sanity
here
in
Washington.
I
am
excited
to
work
with
Mick
in
his
new
role.”
