Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn has drafted legislation that would halt the growth of federal employees and force agencies to leave the nation’s capitol.

Donald Trump, the president-elect-to-be, has promised to reduce government bureaucracy. He will also set up a so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DGE), an independent group that will make recommendations on how to cut spending and regulations.

Blackburn will introduce her own bill to support the effort led by Elon Musk, a tech mogul, and Vivek Ramaswamy a 2024 Republican candidate for president and entrepreneur.

Blackburn announced on Thursday that she would be introducing legislation to coincide with the @DOGE plan for making federal government more efficient.

1776 Coalition Sponsored Will you join Elon, Vivek and Me? I want gov’t to work for the people, so I joined the DOGE Caucus. Now that Deep State, Establishment & Liberal spenders have a target on me. Fortunately, I’ve got allies like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy working with me in this mission. This is LTGen Jack Bergman. Please join me in the fight to make gov’t accountable to the citizens..

The Tennessee senator said, “My DOGE Act freezes federal hiring and begins the process of relocating agencies out the swamp in Washington, D.C., while establishing a merit-based pay system for federal employees.”

Blackburn and Ramaswamy also discussed cost-cutting strategies on her podcast.

“One of our low-hanging fruits is to examine areas within the executive branch. Through executive action, we can put an end to many of the funds that have not been authorized by Congress but are still being spent,” Ramaswamy said, adding that DOGE would want to work with her and other members of Congress to reduce government size.

Ramaswamy, Musk and other members of the government efficiency commission met with legislators on Capitol Hill to discuss their plans. Republicans are eager to assist them. Sen. Joni Ernest (R – Iowa) and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene(R – Georgia) lead the efforts in both the Senate and House.

The two have already voiced their dissatisfaction with several of the targets they are pursuing, such as federal support for high speed rail and increased telework opportunities for civil servants. Musk also told POLITICO’s E&E News that he wanted to stop tax breaks for electric car buyers on Thursday, while rushing between meetings.

Federal employees are unlikely to welcome some of these cost-cutting measures, particularly relocating agencies. Union officials have warned that moving the EPA’s headquarters out of Washington could lead to employees leaving the agency. Musk and Ramaswamy welcomed the departures.
