The Senate Finance Committee will hold a hearing on Thursday to consider the nomination of Michael Faulkender, President Trump’s pick for Deputy Secretary of the Treasury.
Americans for Tax Reform applauds President Trump’s nomination of Michael Faulkender for Deputy Secretary of the Treasury and urges all members of the Senate to support his swift confirmation.
Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform, issued the following statement in support of Faulkender’s confirmation:
“Treasury will play a key role in ensuring the Trump tax cuts are made permanent and passing the President’s agenda of lower taxes and less regulation. Tapping Michael Faulkender to serve as Deputy Treasury Secretary is an excellent pick by President Trump, he is the perfect choice to help carry out this mission. Faulkender is an ally of taxpayers and has the experience to carry out the President’s agenda. I look forward to working with him and Secretary Bessent to help enact the Trump agenda.”
Prior to his nomination, Faulkender, served as chief economist for Treasury during Trump’s first term, and most recently taught at the University of Maryland’s business school while also serving as chief economist at the Trump-aligned America First Policy Institute.
