SPONSOR: -- DogeYourState.org -- Red states are really just blue states with lower taxes. That’s the reality when a shadow government of far-left NGOs and national associations quietly runs the bureaucracy underneath—boards, commissions, and agencies that keep growing no matter who you elect. The State Leadership Initiative is ending that. State Leadership partnered with Florida’s DeSantis Administration to produce the only playbook on how to DOGE a state. Now we’re launching the Campaign to DOGE your State. The election is less than two weeks away. After that, the governing begins. Tell your governor you want real cuts, real efficiency, and a government that matches the values of the people who live there!
