(DES MOINES) -- Today, the Iowa DOGE Task Force released its final report and recommendations after 6 months of gathering input from Iowans across the state. Representative Hans Wilz (R-Ottumwa) served as the ex-Officio member of the task force from the Iowa House. Wilz released the following statement in response to the final report:

“I have appreciated the opportunity to serve as one of the legislative members on the Iowa DOGE Task Force. Transparency and constituent feedback were the main principles that guided this task force. I was happy to be able to gather and deliver feedback personally so Iowans continue to have their voices heard. 
 
It is essential that government operations are consistently evaluated to maximize efficiency. It took the task force 180 days to put together this report based on feedback across all 99 counties, and it will take legislators some time to digest all of its information and seek feedback of our own.  I am excited to make government efficiency initiatives a major focus in the 2026 Legislative Session.”
