The DOGE Caucus, co-founded by Reps. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, and Aaron Bean, R-Fla., seek to improve government operations. Moskowitz's support specifically targets the restructuring of the U.S. Secret Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

He expressed concern about the current structure of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), advocating for it to be streamlined. "The Department of Homeland Security, while very necessary, has gotten too big," Moskowitz explained.

DOGE Caucus and Bipartisan Government Efficiency

Following the formation of the caucus, President-elect Donald Trump announced a DOGE advisory panel. This panel, led by innovators Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, is set to advise on government efficiency strategies.

Moskowitz, previously Florida's director of Emergency Management under Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, has a history of advocating for efficient government. He has worked across party lines to improve how federal agencies operate.

The Representative's proposal involves making USSS and FEMA independent agencies that report directly to the White House. This, he argues, would enhance responsiveness and efficiency in government operations.

Reducing Complexity in Government Operations

"It’s not practical to have 22 agencies under this one department," Moskowitz stated during his announcement. His plan suggests significant changes to how critical services are managed within the federal government.

This proposal has previously garnered support from other lawmakers, including Rep. Garret Graves, R-La., with whom Moskowitz has collaborated to advocate for FEMA’s separation from DHS.

The bipartisan nature of this effort is underscored by Moskowitz's involvement in a House task force investigating assassination attempts against former President Trump, demonstrating his commitment to cross-party collaboration and safety.

Future Plans for Government Reform

The House Oversight Committee, under Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has taken notice of these proposals. Consequently, plans are underway to establish a special subcommittee on government efficiency for the next Congress, which will be chaired by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.

Meanwhile, Moskowitz expressed his commitment to bipartisan efforts by stating, "Today I will join the Congressional DOGE Caucus because I believe that streamlining government processes and reducing ineffective government spending should not be a partisan issue." This statement underscores his vision for collaboration in government restructuring.

As Moskowitz joins the caucus, he brings a strong perspective on government efficiency, shaped by his extensive experience in emergency management and government operations. Furthermore, his proactive stance on reorganizing federal agencies could lead to significant changes in how the government functions, ultimately aiming to reduce bureaucracy and increase effectiveness.
