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.

Texans are being taxed out of their homes while the state collected a 24 billion dollar surplus last year. How about we cut taxes, spending, and the bureaucracy down and deliver on real conservative governance.

Texas is going to have air taxis before California lays down a single track of HSR.

Deindustrialization was a policy choice and the ramifications are an energy drought. Cut the red tape, build refineries, build power plants, built factories, build startups.

The affordability crisis has been manufactured by destructive leftwing policy.

This is a town in Georgia.

A positive vision is one that has MORE airports, MORE planes, where flying is so affordable every middle class family could do it as a hobby.

Once again Indiana is leading the way in education. They haven't raised tuition for 2 years and to achieve this they removed hundreds of wasteful and needless administrative positions!

Casual reminder that this type of litigation is why Texas has more solar power than any other blue state in the country. When you make it easier to build, things just happen.

Some of the deadliest cities in America are in Red states. This isn’t the fault of the state government but the local blue city governments and their radical pro crime policy. The answer is receivership.

Florida's DOGE team proved that these complaints are lies. Local governments in Florida were using EMS funds to pay for green new deal initiatives and pride events. They want to keep they're wasteful spending like "holograms" of mayors at airports while jacking up YOUR property taxes.

Indiana is the beacon of American industry. 26% of Indiana's GDP is manufacturing. HIGHEST in the nation. Now they're getting nuclear power that will be TOO CHEAP TO METER to power these American jobs!

This is the type of endless red tape people assume Red states don’t have but in reality are shackled by.
