Exited govt: 1/XX/26 (self-reported)

Ashley Boizelle most recently served as lawyer within Amazon, but she worked as a counsel within the FCC during the first Trump administration, making her one of the few DOGE staffers with previous government experience. She has been linked to both DOGE offices within the EOP as well as GSA. Most of her activities have been under the radar, but we was consulted by CFPB leadership as they planned for massive layoffs at the agency.

In their presentation, DOGE claims the tool has already made determinations on 1083 decisions at HUD (using Christopher Sweet’s work) and has also been used for 100% of deregulatory actions at the CFPB. It also states that DOGE lawyers James Burnham, Austin Raynor, Jacob Altik and Ashley Boizelle have vetted and endorsed the tool.
