'Shadow Government' Bureaucrats Exposed For Stoking Woke Insanity In Red States​

A new report from the State Leadership Initiative (SLI), released Wednesday, is sounding the alarm on how conservative states are quietly adopting woke policies, driven by little-known national bureaucratic organizations.
The report, first reported by Fox News, details how a web of well-funded national associations, often posing as nonpartisan or professional groups, is behind this trend, pushing what SLI calls "shadow governance." These groups set policy frameworks, control federal funding, and offer "best practices" that lean heavily into left-leaning priorities, according to Fox News.
Among the organizations exposed in the report are the National Association of State Treasurers (NAST), the National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD), and the National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE). SLI’s report examined 23 of the largest associations and found widespread embrace of DEI initiatives, transgender ideology policies, and ESG principles.
"Conservative leaders are fond of declaring victory," the report reads. "They win elections, pass legislation, and appoint agency heads with great fanfare, yet, on issue after issue, the administrative state trudges forward in open defiance of their mandate: enforcing equity initiatives, embedding climate policy, and advancing bureaucratic priorities wholly alien to the voters who ostensibly elected the government. This disconnect is not incidental. It is structural."

"The ideological left does not need to win a single statehouse so long as it controls the bureaucratic bloodstream,” the report added.

New report accuses bureaucrats of running ‘shadow government’ pushing DEI, gender ideology in red states​

"Every single one of these associations pushes DEI," SLI founder and president Noah Wall told Fox News Digital. "It doesn’t matter how specific—whether it's a fish and wildlife group or a treasury department—DEI is a core part of their programming."
In short, the report argues that these associations have created a parallel system of governance — one that functions independently of voter oversight and continues to advance a progressive agenda even under conservative administrations.
Wall argued that Republican governors and lawmakers have underestimated the scale of the problem.
