Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett named chair of House DOGE subcomittee
Rep. Tim Burchett will lead efforts to cut government waste, fraud, and excessive spending under President Trump's DOGE agenda, aiming to pass bipartisan legislation.
- January 9, 2026: Rep. Tim Burchett, Republican of Tennessee, was named chairman of the Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee, replacing former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, House Oversight Committee announced from Washington, D.C.
- Greene's early-January resignation left a vacancy after she departed on Jan. 5, 2025, and Burchett became a DOGE member on Jan. 21, 2025, following President Donald Trump's 2025 executive order establishing DOGE.
- Burchett said DOGE will produce bipartisan legislation to cut waste, fraud and spending, vowed to move bills through House committees and publicly pressure resistors, and wrote `I appreciate the Chairlady very much`.
- House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer picked Burchett to lead the DOGE subcommittee, praising his work with the Oversight Committee and the Trump administration to target waste and abuse.
- Originally tied to private figures, DOGE was initially to be run by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, but those links frayed as Musk fell out with President Donald Trump and Ramaswamy pursued a gubernatorial campaign, shifting control to the Congressional DOGE subcommittee.
