The State Leadership Initiative is proud to present The State DOGE Playbook—a practical blueprint for bringing the proven efficiency, accountability, and results of Florida’s DOGE initiative and other like-minded efforts to every state that is serious about reforming government and delivering for its citizens. SLI was honored to play a small supporting role in Florida DOGE’s efforts. We saw firsthand how a focused, first-principles team—armed with the right authority, data access, and relentless execution—can cut waste, expose fraud, and restore control to elected leaders. This document exists to carry that winning blueprint forward. It equips governors, legislators, and reform-minded executives with the exact legal vehicles, team structures, analytical methods, and implementation steps needed to stand up their own state DOGE and achieve similar victories. At SLI, our mission is simple and uncompromising: we evangelize and actively support the implementation of serious, structural government reforms that dismantle the administrative state, eliminate sacred cows, and put quality governance back in the driver’s seat. State-level DOGE efforts are proof that when conservatives stop managing decline and start executing with boldness, real transformation follows. We built this playbook for you. Use it. Adapt it. Win with it.

Nearly 1 BILLION dollars saved from going to harmful DEI programs and illegal immigrants. This is what delivering to the American people looks like.

The key to making housing affordable is building more and mass deportations. Two things that only RED states are delivering on.

America spends more per student than nearly any other nation on earth. Meanwhile all of that money is going to pointless administrative staff. Even in the BEST states teachers barely make more than 1/2 of K-12 staff.

AI doom is loud but the upside for humanity will be louder. Told my thoughts to @BillOReilly on healthcare breakthroughs, economic growth, transparency. We use AI to find waste in government. Doctors use it to find cancer that human eyes miss. A 37 year old with a rare blood disease was recently saved by AI as reported by NYT. Don’t believe the Doomer fear.

California has a 5.1% unemployment rate and taxes its people into poverty to hand out 100,000+ dollars a year to criminal illegal aliens. Meanwhile Red states are the homes of hard working Americans that get to keep their money.

An honor to talk to @RealBenCarson about building housing for families at the @HUDgov Innovative Housing Showcase.

Texas is remarkably beautiful. There are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see.

There is only one answer to the rogue cities in Texas and that's receivership. It's coming and it will be the most important piece of legislation in recent memory.

This is happening in every Red state. @DOGEFla found that Orlando was spending 150,000 on lawyer fees for illegals as well. Every Red state needs to audit their city governments for this type of abuse.

Texans are being taxed out of their homes so they can pay woke universities over 1/4 billion dollars to brainwash their kids.

True abundance is in the Red states. We have cheaper energy, it’s easier to build, and better education.

You don't need to win through socialism, you merely need good governance. Ron DeSantis became governor in a purple Florida beating out his democrat opponent by only 0.41% of the vote. 8 years later and Florida is a deep Red state because they were shown the way through effective governance from an executive that WANTED to lead. Americans from across the country have fled to Florida to experience what that is like. We're going to bring that style of governance to every Red state. Florida will no longer be the exception.

If you’re embracing socialism you are definitionally not right wing anymore. The effort to normalize third worldism must be opposed by all. This is a fight we must win. If you want to join our efforts to do this in the states, consider following @RedStatesLead

There's no better place to educate your kids than Red states.

Ok now imagine for a moment

The Trump administration has reduced the financial stranglehold of mass regulation by over 50x. Every Red state should be doing the same but they aren't. They need to follow the new standard.

Good afternoon, American.

We have the technology. We simply don't need criminal illegal aliens driving burritos across cities.

Nuclear energy must be brought back.
