Michigan is launching its own version of the national DOGE effort, with the stated goal of improving accountability and efficiency within state government.

According to a press release, the task force aims to:

    • Ensure government operates efficiently, transparently, and in the best interest of the people it serves.

The members of the DOGE Task Force Initiative:

    • Representative James DeSana (R-Carleton), chair
    • Representative Ann Bollin (R-Brighton)
    • Representative Steve Carra (R-Three Rivers)
    • Representative Jamie Greene (R-Richmond)
    • Representative Jay DeBoyer (R-Clay)
