Government Reform
Cindy spent a decade at the State of Iowa directing initiatives to help over twenty state agencies improve government services while saving Iowa taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.
Cindy is bringing the same approach to Washington by working on policies to make the federal government work better for less. Cindy has already introduced two pieces of legislation to root out waste, fraud and abuse in Washington.
Cindy will focus on prioritizing ways to save taxpayer dollars, bring much-needed transparency in government spending and hold Washington accountable.
- Rep. Axne joined colleagues in introducing the bipartisan Reining in Irresponsible Decorating Expenses (RIIDE) Act, to put an end to excessive and frivolous government spending.
- The House passed the Axne-sponsored bipartisan Grant Reporting Efficiency and Agreements Transparency (GREAT) Act of 2019. This legislation would streamline the outdated and burdensome federal grant process, making it easier and cheaper for Iowans to apply for grants and allow taxpayers to better track government spending.
