Washington, D.C. – Today, House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) released the following statement after Larry Kudlow was selected as the next Director of the National Economic Council:

“I congratulate Larry Kudlow for being selected to serve the President in this very important role. A friend and a champion for free markets, Larry has influenced so many successful economic issues over the years and will be a strong advocate in the Administration for lower taxes, sound trade policy, and continued regulatory relief for our job creators. As we build off the growing successes of President Trump’s tax cuts, I look forward to working with Larry to keep our economy growing for years to come.”
