Democrats name their DOGE Subcommittee members

House Democrats have named their members to sit on the governmental efficiency and waste subcommittee aligned with the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE), a sign that they’re willing to work across the aisle with the new administration.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) announced the news that she would be leading Democrats on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee’s new subcommittee intended to work in conjunction with DOGE, which is led by Elon Musk.

“It’s official: I will serve as Ranking Member of the new DOGE Subcommittee in @OversightDems,” she wrote.

Stansbury, a former employee of the White House Office of Management and Budget, said she knows what government efficiency looks like.

“And, I will use every tool available to work across the aisle and combat policies that are harmful to Americans,” Stansbury said.

Reps. Robert Garcia (Calif.), Stephen Lynch (Mass) and Texas Reps. Greg Casar and Jasmine Crockett will also be joining the subcommittee, their teams confirmed to The Hill.

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), the ranking member on the Oversight Committee, will be permitted to sit on the subcommittee as well, Politico reported.

Shortly after the election, it was announced that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) will chair the subcommittee.
