Bridget Youngs
Exited govt: 8/XX/25 (self-reported)
Not much is reported about Bridget Youngs’ actions for DOGE. Like many of Nate Cavanaugh’s wrecking crew, she comes from a background in finance and investment, and is young (graduating from college in 2017). She left DOGE in August to found a company manufacturing electrical transformers.

Interagency
A human resources division chief at the Peace Corps reports receiving two phone calls in quick succession. The first was from a Senior Advisor at OPM who also claimed to be a liasion for the White House, reporting that a DOGE representative would be detailed from USAID. The second was from a woman detailed to DOGE from GSA, who stated she was originally going to be detailed to USAID but will now be in a leadership position short term. She is not identified but is likely Bridget Youngs.

Disruption
DOGE staff at the Department of Labor terminate more than two dozen grants to increase the representation of women in trades like construction, manufacturing and IT, as well as to combat gender-based violence and discrimination. DOGE later brags about it on its X account.
(fuzz: She’s not named, but I am linking Bridget Youngs since she claims she was reviewing grants at DOL)

Open Questions
- She was named as showing up at the Peace Corps once. Has she been involved in any other DOGE visits to other independent agencies?
- Did Bridget Youngs start at DOL and get detailed from there? Or did she start at GSA like many others in Nate Cavanaugh's orbit and then get detailed to DOL?
