A southwest Missouri native and former U.S. Congressman has been tabbed by President-Elect Donald Trump to head the Internal Revenue Service.
According to a post by Trump on Truth Social reported by Ozarks First, he has selected Billy Long to head-up the I.R.S.
Long, a Springfield native, ran an Auction Business for years prior to being elected as Missouri's 7th District Congressman in 2011. Long remained in Congress until 2023.
