Rep. Diane Black is stepping down from her chairmanship on the House Budget Committee and will pursue a run for governor of Tennessee.
Black, a Tennessee Republican who will continue to serve in Congress in 2018, credited the passage of the tax bill with allowing her to achieve her political goals and to move on to the next step in her career.
"When I was elected to Congress in 2010, I had three main goals: repeal Obamacare, reform the tax code, and start attacking the growing federal debt and deficits. In just one year, the Budget Committee has taken significant steps to achieve all of these goals," Black said in announcing her decision Wednesday in a Fox News opinion piece.
