Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said Tuesday she plans to launch a state version of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) project that President-elect Donald Trump created to cut wasteful federal spending and help reduce America’s ballooning national debt.

Reynolds revealed her plan for a state-level DOGE during the annual Condition of the State address at the Iowa Capitol on Jan. 14, in which she laid out her legislative priorities for the year. Besides seeking to cut government spending, Reynolds outlined plans to boost energy production, ban cell phones in K-12 classrooms, and increase child care capacity.
