Log Cabin Republicans Statement on Trump’s Nomination of Scott Bessent for Treasury Secretary

Washington, D.C. - Charles Moran, President of Log Cabin Republicans, the nation's oldest and largest Republican organization representing LGBT conservatives and allies, issued the following statement on President Trump's nomination of Scott Bessent for Treasury Secretary.

"Scott Bessent is a terrific choice to become the next Treasury Secretary and the Log Cabin Republicans applaud President Trump for his pick. As one of the most brilliant minds in the financial space and a vocal supporter of President Trump's economic agenda, Bessent will be a strong asset to help President Trump put America back on the path to financial security and economic prosperity. His nomination is another step in President Trump's steadfast determination to fill his Administration with the most qualified people for the job who can help carry out his agenda. Trump's selection of Bessent, who is also openly gay, married, and has two children with his partner, is also a reminder of President Trump's love and respect for LGBT Americans. The Log Cabin Republicans looks forward to working with Bessent and other LGBT allies who have been asked to serve in his Administration, like RFK Jr., Pam Bondi, Tulsi Gabbard, Matt Whitaker, and others, to carry out President Trump's agenda."
