In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“The United States is spiraling towards $40 trillion dollars in debt, and yet we are continuing to waste money on duplicative programs every day. I am proud to have bipartisan support on this bill, and I hope it will bring more transparency to what we are voting on and spending taxpayer money on.”
“When Chairman Comer named me Chairman of the DOGE Subcommittee, I promised to produce legislation that addresses the problems that we uncover as a committee”
“When the American people elected President Trump in a landslide victory in 2024, he had a mandate from the voters to slash harmful spending and attack waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal bureaucracy. I am looking forward to being a partner to President Trump, Chairman Comer, and my colleagues across the aisle to restore trust in government.”
“The American people are fed up with wasteful spending and fraud in the federal government. Under my leadership, I will eliminate reckless spending, slash unnecessary bureaucratic red tape, and investigate the rampant fraud and abuse in government.”
“I am honored Chairman Comer has bestowed this great responsibility upon me”
“Today, I am calling on the House Intelligence Committee to subpoena and release the immigration records of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. This request was directed towards the Intelligence Committee because the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is not the correct jurisdiction.”

“Nicolas Maduro is a thug and a narcoterrorist, responsible for the murder of countless Americans. Today, the heavy hand of American justice brought Maduro out of hiding, ending his tyrannical regime once and for all. Thank you to President Trump, Secretary Rubio, Secretary Hegseth, and our brave service members who carried out this operation.”
