WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) released the following statement after President Trump nominated Kevin Warsh to serve as Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System:

"Kevin Warsh is the right man for the job.

"Kevin is a longtime friend and former White House colleague—one of the smartest and most talented people I have ever served with.

"Kevin is a conservative economist, financial markets expert, and respected authority on fiscal, monetary, and economic policy.

"Kevin is a strong leader with deep convictions for free people, free markets, and fiscal responsibility. He has questioned the Fed’s recent failures, criticized the Fed’s overreach of the past, and rightfully admonished the Fed’s complicity in the explosion of our national debt.

"He has dedicated his career to serving our great country and advancing the principles that made America the most powerful and prosperous nation in human history."
