Trump Nominates Former Missouri Congressman Billy Long to Replace IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel
Dec 4, 2024, 11:27 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated former Missouri Congressman Billy Long to serve as the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Long, who has 32 years of experience in real estate and auctioneering, as well as 12 years in Congress, is known for his advocacy of tax simplification. He co-sponsored the Fair Tax Act in 2011, which aimed to replace federal income, payroll, and estate taxes with a national sales tax. Trump's announcement signals his intent to replace the current IRS Commissioner, Danny Werfel, before his term ends in 2027. Senate Republicans have already indicated their support for Long's nomination, citing his potential to restore trust in the IRS and improve customer service.
