Watch live: House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing on government efficiency

The House Oversight and Reform Committee will hear testimony Wednesday morning from Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) about the Hawkeye State's efforts to promote government efficiency.

Reynolds announced last month that Iowa would create its own Department of Government Efficiency, in an effort to slash wasteful spending modeled after President Trump's latest federal agency helmed by tech billionaire Elon Musk.

Thomas A. Schatz, the president of Citizens Against Government Waste, will also be a witness.

The "Rightsizing Government" hearing is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EST.
