Trump-Musk government efficiency commission idea draws Capitol Hill interest

Published



House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington (R-TX) is a big fan of former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of a so-called government efficiency commission.

Arrington, who has been in office since 2017 and represents a rural west Texas district, spoke to the Washington Examiner about the proposed reform, which aims to cut down on wasteful federal spending and government bloat. Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential nominee, has been vocal about his desire to prune the administrative state. The idea of an efficiency commission has gained more airtime ahead of the Nov. 5 election, when voters will choose between the former president and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee.
