Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett named chair of House DOGE subcomittee

Rep. Tim Burchett will lead efforts to cut federal spending, eliminate waste, and modernize technology as chair of the House's Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee.

  • House Oversight Chairman James Comer tapped Rep. Tim Burchett, U.S. Representative from Tennessee , on Friday to chair the DOGE subcommittee, following Greene's resignation on Jan. 5.
  • Greene notified Burchett when he joined the DOGE committee on Jan. 21, 2025, after her last day on Jan. 5, 2026.
  • Burchett pledged to eliminate reckless spending, slash bureaucratic red tape, investigate fraud, and urged Elon Musk to reengage as DOGE prepares meaningful legislation.
  • The DOGE Act would, Burchett said, support using executive orders to modernize federal technology and cut waste, following his appointment as chair of the House DOGE subcommittee.
  • Supporters argued DOGE supports President Donald Trump's 2024 election mandate to cut spending, as Burchett was appointed chair on January 9, 2026, amid political conflicts.
