  • Martin, who ran unsuccessfully for Missouri attorney general and a St. Louis area U.S. House seat, was appointed chief of staff at the Office of Management and Budget.

Ed Martin, a former leader of the Missouri Republican Party and a prominent conservative activist, has been appointed by former President Donald Trump to a high-level budget position. Martin, who has a history of controversial statements and actions, including his involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot, will serve as an associate director at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). His appointment comes as part of Trump's strategy to place loyalists in key government roles, potentially influencing budget priorities and policy decisions. Martin's past includes leading the Eagle Forum and facing legal issues related to his political activities. His new role at OMB could have significant implications for federal spending and policy, especially given his alignment with Trump's political agenda.
