U.S. Senator Roger Marshall has written an op-ed in the Washington Examiner, advocating for Scott Bessent as President Trump's nominee for Secretary of Treasury. Marshall emphasizes Bessent's potential to provide economic opportunities for Americans and argues that he is the right choice at this crucial time.

As a member of the Senate Finance Committee, Senator Marshall will vote in favor of Bessent's nomination during today's committee hearing. In his op-ed, Marshall highlights Bessent's experience and practical policies aimed at restoring hope and prosperity for future generations.

Marshall writes, "America stands at a critical crossroads. After years of crippling inflation, stagnant wages, and an economy weighed down by failed economic policies, families across the nation are struggling to make ends meet." He further states that inflation has driven prices for essentials like gas and groceries to historic highs.

The op-ed outlines key elements of Bessent's plan: renewing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to provide relief to families and businesses; revitalizing American manufacturing through regulatory reforms and energy production; and negotiating trade deals that protect American jobs.

Marshall also notes Bessent's dedication to eliminating wasteful spending and ensuring taxpayer dollars are used effectively. He believes that running the federal government like a business is essential given the current debt crisis.

"America needs a leader who understands the challenges of everyday families," writes Marshall. "Scott Bessent is that leader."
