Kim Reynolds on Government Reform

We were doing DOGE before DOGE was a thing

We've cut 21 agencies & 620 open positions; saved millions

Put a moratorium on new rulemaking, assess existing rules

Bold action doesn't have to mean government action

You shouldn't have to wake up every morning and worry about the next thing the government is going to do to you, your business, or your children.

If we, as elected leaders, are doing our job, then the government is working well but operating in the background. It's supporting the ingenuity and spirit of our people, not drowning them out. It's keeping them safe, not restricting their freedom. That's what I believe. That's what Republicans believe. And that's what Republicans are doing.
