Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro set up a digital team in 2023. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, in 2024. By comparison, only two red states have similar units.<\/p><p>The teams are an answer to what Donald Moynihan, a public policy professor at the University of Michigan, calls a progressive \u201cneuroses\u201d that wants to prove liberals can govern effectively, part of a movement calling for \u201cabundance\u201d \u2014 more development, more ambitious policies, faster.<\/p>\n<p>That, and the national focus on DOGE, have brought what was once a relatively behind-the-scenes administrative effort, like building a website, into the foreground.<\/p><p>\u201cDoing the good work is the core of what we need to do every day,\u201d said Luke Farrell, a deputy commissioner and senior adviser for the New York City government. \u201cBut also, we then need to show people the work, and we need to get it into people\u2019s hands.\u201d<\/p><p>Mamdani\u2019s PIT Crew has been tasked with making his administration\u2019s \u201cclick-to-cancel\u201d rule into a reality with an online portal for New Yorkers to file complaints. The consumer protection rule, which requires businesses to provide simple subscription cancellation, is projected to save New Yorkers millions of dollars once it goes into effect next month.<\/p><p>In Virginia, the digital team is being told to address the inefficiencies that disrupt the daily lives of residents; Virginians still have to write checks to the state because they can\u2019t pay for some state services online, Spanberger said. Other parts of the state government still require traditional signatures.<\/p><p>\u201cOne of the ways that you can best ensure that you\u2019re correctly utilizing state taxpayer dollars is to make things actually work,\u201d Spanberger said. \u201cThe state digital service is meant to be a part of that.\u201d<\/p><div>\n<\/div><p>President Barack Obama set up the U.S. Digital Service in 2014 to fix HealthCare.gov after a botched rollout threatened to tank Obamacare, one of the Obama administration\u2019s signature policies. The unit became a core part of a network of tech do-gooders in the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>After the HealthCare.gov rescue, the team largely operated in the background of government. During the first Trump administration, the leadership of the U.S. Digital Service fashioned the team as a nonpartisan unit. In a shift, the Biden administration installed political leadership and tasked it with working on priorities like building a government program to file federal taxes for free.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=3688\">DOGE Has Cut Tens of Thousands of Awards. Musk\u2019s Companies Haven\u2019t Lost a Dime in Federal Funds.<\/a><\/p><p>Still, when Trump returned to office, few Americans were familiar with the tech team that the president and Elon Musk transformed into DOGE.<\/p><p>In the early months of the second Trump administration, many of the existing U.S. Digital Service staffers were laid off. Others resigned publicly, saying that DOGE\u2019s work was antithetical to the mission of the original team. 18F, another Obama-era government tech team, was shuttered in March 2025, weeks after Musk tweeted that it had been \u201cdeleted.\u201d<\/p><p>DOGE quickly departed from its nominal tech focus to overhaul of the federal workforce and slash government spending \u2014 moves that inspired nationwide protests and lawsuits. The backlash has given Democrats nationally an opportunity to reclaim the government efficiency mantle.<\/p><p>That conversation has already begun in Washington. Liberal think tanks and former federal officials are drafting plans for how future administrations could improve the government, as NOTUS has previously <span><u>reported<\/u><\/span>. The work could have an impact beyond political resonance: In New York, Virginia and the capital alike, these efforts to improve technology and government could help politicians actually implement their agendas.<\/p><p>\u201cA policy without a way to enforce it isn\u2019t really a policy at all,\u201d Erie Meyer, who was previously the chief technologist at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, told NOTUS of the importance of the PIT Crew\u2019s work implementing Mamdani\u2019s click-to-cancel rule.<\/p>\n<p>Mamdani\u2019s team is still deciding on what other projects they\u2019ll focus on, but the work will be \u201ccore to the Mamdani administration\u2019s agenda around affordability, housing, consumer and worker protection and more,\u201d said Maya Israni, senior adviser to the city\u2019s chief technology officer.<\/p><p>More than 4,000 people have submitted applications to join the New York City PIT crews, which will consist of five teams focusing on building services in-house instead of using contractors.<\/p><p>\u201cWe really want to have a direct impact on someone\u2019s day-to-day life as a New Yorker and make their life on a day-to-day basis better and more affordable,\u201d Israni said. \u201cWe\u2019re here to deliver on core Mamdani administration priorities.\u201d<\/p><p>At the state level, Democrats are also using the teams to respond to Trump\u2019s agenda. Spanberger said Virginia\u2019s tech push is especially relevant in light of the Republican budget law passed last year, which slashed federal funding in food assistance programs and Medicaid.<\/p><p>As the state implements Medicaid work requirements from that law, how well various state systems interface to validate eligibility becomes really important, said Spanberger, noting that \u201cany of those gaps means loss of coverage or means loss of social safety net programs for people in a way that can really be harmful.\u201d<\/p><p>The tension: Sometimes the work to enable policies isn\u2019t flashy.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the new tech unit in Virginia is to \u201cimprove the services that the government provides for every Virginian,\u201d Andrea Fletcher \u2014 who also previously worked in the U.S. Digital Service and just recently started as the new director of the Virginia Digital Service \u2014 told NOTUS.<\/p><p>To do that, the Virginia team will also be looking to tackle the \u201cboring stuff\u201d that often makes the government headache-inducing in the first place, like procurement and hiring, she said.<\/p><p>During DOGE\u2019s heyday in Washington, some who had previously been on civic tech teams in Washington expressed envy at the political aircover Elon Musk\u2019s team had to get things done.<\/p><p>The teams in New York and Virginia have that top-down investment, said Lynn Overmann, who worked as a senior adviser for the Biden administration as part of the U.S. Digital Service.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=3686\">The White House Says It Sent a New \u2018Serious Counter Offer\u2019 on DHS Funding<\/a><\/p><p>The real test, she said: \u201cCan they actually get it done?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rising stars in the Democratic Party are promoting their tech modernization teams in a post-DOGE political landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3691,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
