Florida Congressman Jared Moskowitz, a Democrat, is joining the DOGE government efficiency caucus.
While explaining his decision, the Florida Democrat emphasized he is joining the DOGE congressional caucus, not Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, and he believes a House caucus should be bipartisan.
In terms of making government more efficient, some of his ideas included getting FEMA out of the Department of Homeland Security, as he thinks the department has become too big. He also noted that Secret Service should possibly come out of the department as well.
Rep. Moskowitz admitted he will likely be against much of what DOGE proposes, but he’s ready to have those conversations.
“At the end of the day, I think everyone in Congress is of the position that government isn’t perfect, so I’m looking for ways to improve government,” the Florida Democrat recently said on CNN. “I think the American people expect us to find ways to improve government, and in some places that may be shrinking the size of government.”
Democrats like Senator Bernie Sanders have pointed out the defense budget is another good target for budget cuts and accountability.
Rep. Moskowitz said he wants to clean up the system and target waste, fraud and abuse and that is why he joined the caucus.
