Tony Ruiz , a disabled Army veteran who was terminated from his job at the Department of Veterans Affairs , began posting about his ambitions to run for higher office.

Ruiz worked as a Veterans Service representative in Los Angeles , and he was awarded the employee of the quarter and even received a cash bonus.

Run For Something , a progressive group that recruits and trains first -time Democratic candidates, said it has seen a major spike in people signing up to run since the DOGE cuts began.

Trump reaffirmed his support of DOGE efforts Wednesday during a Cabinet meeting and by signing another executive order emboldening the cuts to government waste.

Some federal workers who have not been laid off are also considering runs for office, even though there’s a long way to go until the midterm season .
