U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) voted “no” Friday on Rep. Mick Mulvaney’s nomination as budget director.

President Trump had nominated the congressman from South Carolina as the next director of the Office of Management and Budget.

Murray, however, warned that Mulvaney’s promise of massive budget cuts would destroy the social safety net for people in Washington state and across the country, and had earlier called him “one of the most extreme members of the Tea Party wing of the [Republican] Party.”

Murray released this statement after her vote:

“I join my colleagues in urging opposition to the nomination of Congressman Mick Mulvaney to lead our federal budget office as director of OMB.

“We all know that a budget is more than just numbers on a page. A budget represents our values and our priorities. The kind of nation we are now — and the kind of nation we want to be.

“And Congressman Mulvaney isn’t shy about where he stands on this… He has made it very clear that he would like to use our budget to radically reshape our country in a way that I believe would be devastating to families, to seniors, to veterans, to the middle class — and so many others. Congressman Mulvaney has said he wants to make drastic, radical cuts to federal investments — trillions of dollars, across the board… So for those reasons — and many more — I will be opposing this nomination and urge my colleagues to do the same.”
