GOP Rep. Spartz won't sit on committees or 'participate in the caucus,' prefers to focus on DOGE

Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., said she won't sit on committees or caucus with the House Republican Conference for the time being and will instead focus on working with the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on cutting spending.

Spartz described the GOP conference as a circus when making her announcement. 

A caucus, the “Delivering Outstanding Government Efficiency,” was created to collaborate with President-elect Trump’s incoming DOGE. Trump tapped SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and former 2024 GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to run the advisory committee.

“I will stay as a registered Republican but will not sit on committees or participate in the caucus until I see that Republican leadership in Congress is governing,” Spartz wrote in a post on the social media website X.

“I do not need to be involved in circuses. I would rather spend more of my time helping @DOGE and @RepThomasMassie to save our Republic, as was mandated by the American people,” she added.
