President-elect Trump Names Auctioneer and Ex-Congressman Billy Long as IRS Commissioner, Replacing Danny Werfel
Dec 4, 2024, 11:09 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has announced on Truth Social his intention to appoint former Congressman Billy Long of Missouri as the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Billy Long, renowned as one of the most respected auctioneers in the country, served 12 years in Congress and has 32 years of experience running his own businesses in real estate and auctioneering. In 2011, he co-sponsored the Fair Tax Act, which proposed replacing federal income, payroll, and estate taxes with a national sales tax. Long is praised for his bipartisan respect and is a long-time advocate for small businesses and tax simplification. His appointment signals a shift towards a business-friendly approach to taxation and indicates Trump's intent to replace current IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel, whose term ends in 2027 and was chosen by President Biden to lead an overhaul of the IRS.
