WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) today released the following statement after the Senate voted to confirm Wilbur Ross as Secretary of Commerce:
“Congratulations to Wilbur Ross on being confirmed to lead the Department of Commerce. He has a critical role to play in growing our economy, and I am confident he will deliver results. Throughout the confirmation process and his career, Mr. Ross has made it clear he is committed to pro-growth solutions that empower our workers and job creators to compete and win anywhere in the world. I look forward to working with him and President Trump on economic policies—such as reforming our broken tax code and creating strong, enforceable trade agreements—that will improve the lives of all Americans.”
