Â
Illinois Republican gubernatorial candidate Ted Dabrowski is calling for the creation of a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), following a similar proposal unveiled last week by primary rival Darren Bailey.
The proposal mirrors a federal initiative launched last year by President Donald Trump focused on identifying waste, fraud, and abuse across federal agencies.
Both Illinois Republicans argue a comparable effort is needed in Springfield, where state spending has expanded significantly under Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker.
Bailey announced his plan first on Friday, outlining a defined structure and leadership team. “One of the first actions our administration will take is launching DOGE for Illinois,” Bailey said. “This will be a transparency-first project with the Lieutenant Governor at the helm. Aaron Del Mar will serve as Illinois’ DOGE Czar, responsible for putting waste, fraud, and abuse on public display.”
