MODERNIZE GOVERNMENT TECH AND CUT RED TAPE
It shouldn’t take a stack of forms, three fax machines, and divine intervention to get a simple government service.
Outdated technology and bloated bureaucracy waste time, money, and trust. We need a government that runs like the people it serves — fast, responsive, and digital.
THE PROBLEM
Many federal and state systems still run on decades-old software — some literally coded in COBOL.
Citizens waste hours navigating complex forms, duplicating information across multiple agencies.
Cybersecurity failures put personal data and national infrastructure at risk.
Outdated procurement and contracting rules reward big vendors, not innovative solutions.
Red tape delays everything from small-business loans to veterans’ benefits, turning help into hardship.
It’s time to drag government into the century everyone else is already living in.
OUR PLAN - SMART GOVERNMENT FOR A SMART COUNTRY
We’ll modernize how government works — from the inside out:
Digital by Default — All services available online, mobile-friendly, and accessible to every citizen.
One Form, One Portal — Streamline government services with universal logins and pre-filled data across departments.
Secure Cloud Infrastructure — Replace outdated systems with encrypted, resilient, U.S.-based cloud platforms.
Open-Source Government Software — Encourage transparency and cost savings by publishing non-sensitive code for public audit and collaboration.
Citizen UX Testing — Require usability testing with real users before deploying any new public system.
Cut Red Tape Initiative — Annual review of regulations to simplify or eliminate duplicative paperwork.
Tech Corps Fellowship — A national program bringing skilled tech workers into government for 1–2 year tours of duty to modernize systems.
AI Accountability Standards — Ensure any automation or AI used in public programs is transparent, explainable, and fair.
WHY IT MATTERS
Efficient government isn’t smaller government — it’s smarter government.
By cutting waste, reducing bureaucracy, and investing in secure tech, we restore public confidence and free up resources for what truly matters: service.
