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."
