Scott Kupor officially assumed his role as director of the Office of Personnel Management on Tuesday, as the Trump administration prepares to move forward with firing thousands of federal employees.
Kupor said he would prioritize President Donald Trump’s “America-first agenda” by focusing on stewarding taxpayer resources and ensuring federal agencies are equipped with “efficiency and integrity.”
“I am honored by the Senate’s confirmation and grateful to President Trump for entrusting me with this opportunity to serve,” Kupor said in a news release. “My commitment is to empower these dedicated public servants with the tools, systems, and leadership they deserve, building a high-performing, accountable, and mission-driven workforce that upholds the trust of every taxpayer.”
Kupor’s takeover comes just a week after the Supreme Court paved the way for the Trump administration to resume laying off thousands of federal workers.
