Many government programs that were well-intentioned are either duplicative of other programs or are no longer applicable today. Congress must conduct oversight of these programs, review their merits, and eliminate those no longer serving their intended purpose.
I support rightsizing our federal bureaucracy and modernizing our institutions. I’ve introduced a number of bills to improve the government’s relationship with technology by raising its tech standards, fostering innovation within government, increasing transparency and accountability, and streamlining agency approval processes.
I’ve been a longtime proponent of the REINS Act, legislation to require that high-cost regulations be submitted to Congress for review and approval before going into effect. I also believe our federal government should be closer to the taxpayers funding it, and support decentralizing certain offices and functions away from D.C. and re-locating those jobs to states like Illinois.
I’m a member of the Congressional Innovation Initiative, a group led by the Majority Leader to find solutions that will increase entrepreneurship, protect information, and implement smart technology in government. I’ve authored bipartisan legislation that has passed the House to promote consumers’ access to financial tools and online commerce. The financial technology industry has evolved to give consumers more control of their finances, and government must also evolve to meet these new expectations.
