“Rise of the Pack: Republican Governors Unite with Trump in a Show of Unwavering Loyalty”
Exclusive: Republican Governors Express Overwhelming Support for Department of Government Effectiveness
In a letter to congressional leaders, Republican governors in the United States have expressed their “overwhelming support” for the Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE), a planned presidential advisory committee aimed at cutting government spending and making the federal workforce more efficient.
The letter, shared first with Fox News, was led by Republican Governors Association (RGA) Policy Chairman Henry McMaster of South Carolina and signed by 24 other Republican governors. The governors emphasized the importance of balancing the federal budget and streamlining government, citing their own success in doing so in their respective states.
“As CEOs of our states, we know a thing or two about streamlining government, eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy, and bringing efficient, results-driven solutions to state government. We support President Trump as he works to transform the federal government. The government does the same thing,” the governors said.
The governors also praised President-elect Trump’s appointments of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead DOGE, stating that they agree with their assertion that the federal government needs to be downsized.
The letter was signed by the following Republican governors:
* Kay Ivey of Alabama
* Mike Dunleavy of Alaska
* Sarah Sanders of Arkansas
* Ron DeSantis of Florida
* Brad Little of Idaho
* Eric Holcomb of Indiana
* Kim Reynolds of Iowa
* Jeff Landry of Louisiana
* Tate Reeves of Mississippi
* Mike Parson of Missouri
* Greg Gianforte of Montana
* Jim Pillen of Nebraska
* Joe Lombardo of Nevada
* Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire

* Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma
* Kristi Noem of South Dakota
* Bill Lee of Tennessee
* Greg Abbott of Texas
* Cy Cox of Virginia
* Glenn Younkin of Virginia
* Jim Justice of West Virginia
* Mark Gordon of Wyoming
The only Republican governor not to sign the letter was Vermont Gov. Phil Scott, who was a long-time member of the RGA but was unsigned on many of the letters.
The letter comes a day after a number of Republican governors dined with Trump at the Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.
