Invited Testimony to the House Committee on the Delivery of Government Efficiency: Organizational Hearing

Chairman Capriglione and members of the Committee,

My name is James Quintero, and I am a policy director with the Texas Public Policy Foundation, a nonpartisan research institute based in Austin, Texas. Thank you for the opportunity to address the Texas House Committee on the Delivery of Government Efficiency (DOGE) today. As you know, the Texas DOGE committee has broad jurisdiction over numerous subject matter areas, presenting both an opportunity and a challenge. Your opportunity is that the committee is well positioned to make far-reaching change, but the challenge is to find a focus or at least some intentional direction for your efforts.
