President-Elect Trump Nominates U.S. Congressman Mick Mulvaney Director of the Office of Management and Budget
 |
| Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R, SC) |
Congressman Mulvaney brings a wealth of experience on economic, budgetary, and fiscal issues to his new role. Rep. Mulvaney has long been a strong voice in Congress for reining in out-of-control spending, fighting government waste and enacting tax policies that will allow working Americans to thrive. Rep. Mulvaney believes getting America’s fiscal house in order is a key component of President-elect Trump’s America First plan to create millions of jobs and grow the economy.
“We are going to do great things for the American people with Mick Mulvaney leading the Office of Management and Budget,” said President-elect Trump. “Right now we are nearly $20 trillion in debt, but Mick is a very high-energy leader with deep convictions for how to responsibly manage our nation’s finances and save our country from drowning in red ink. With Mick at the head of OMB, my administration is going to make smart choices about America’s budget, bring new accountability to our federal government, and renew the American taxpayer’s trust in how their money is spent.”
“It is a great honor to be appointed Director of the Office of Management and Budget,” said Congressman Mulvaney. “The Trump administration will restore budgetary and fiscal sanity back in Washington after eight years of an out-of-control, tax and spend financial agenda, and will work with Congress to create policies that will be friendly to American workers and businesses. Each day, families across our nation make disciplined choices about how to spend their hard earned money, and the federal government should exercise the same discretion that hardworking Americans do every day.”
A lifelong resident of the Carolinas, Rep. Mulvaney attended Georgetown University where he graduated as an Honor Scholar – the highest award given to students of the Georgetown School of Foreign Service – in International Economics, Commerce and Finance. After college, Rep. Mulvaney attended law school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on a full academic scholarship. He then completed his formal education at Harvard Business School's OPM program in 2006.
Rep. Mulvaney has broad business experience across many fields. After practicing law, following graduating law school, the entrepreneurial spirit captured him and he started his own law firm. Later, he ran his family’s real estate business and then went on to start a small homebuilding company, and owned and operated his own restaurant.
Rep. Mulvaney has used his educational, professional, and business background to bring a focus on jobs, business and the economy to his work in Congress. He currently serves on the House Financial Services Committee as well as the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
In Congress, Rep. Mulvaney co-authored Cut, Cap, and Balance Act, which curbed and capped needless federal spending, and provided for a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution. Additionally, Rep. Mulvaney’s Congressional office has returned hundreds of thousands of dollars from its office budget to the U.S. Treasury over the past few years.
Rep. Mulvaney and his wife Pam were married in 1998, and are the proud parents of triplets.

To root out government waste, make government more efficient, and address the debt, Congress needs a willing partner in the administration. I look forward to working with Mick Mulvaney as budget director to meet those goals.
Mick is a great choice for OMB Director. I’ve often described him as “young” Paul Ryan when it comes to all things budget-related. He’s done his homework when it comes to the federal budget and will hit the ground running in this very important job.
Rep. Mulvaney is the perfect person to lead the Office of Management and Budget. Mick is incredibly bright and capable, and I have no doubt his conservative principles will help restore our nation's fiscal health. I look forward to seeing him serve in this new role.
“Mick has been an incredible colleague over the past six years. I will miss working with him on a daily basis as we all missed Tim when he went to the Senate. But I am happy for Mick, Pam and their three children as they embark on a new and exciting period of service to our country and state.
I applaud this move by Pres-elect Trump to bring budgetary sanity to our federal gov. Congrats to my friend Mick Mulvaney on his nomination!
President-elect Donald Trump has made an outstanding choice in naming Mick Mulvaney Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and I believe his selection demonstrates the President-elect’s commitment to restoring fiscal accountability in Washington. Since the first day I met Mick, he has been a man who has been guided by principle. He is a tireless advocate for the American taxpayer, and he is always willing to take on the tough fights in pursuit of what he feels is right. Mick has worked with me side-by-side on the Financial Services Committee for years, and he has not only been a strong ally but a true friend. I look forward to working with him in his new role as OMB director to help end Washington’s spending problem and as President-elect Trump said, ‘save our country from drowning in red ink.
