Rep. Chip Roy Press Office has recently been active on social media, highlighting several changes in the President’s Budget. Roy, representing Texas’ 21st Congressional District since 2019, often uses his platform to inform the public about actions affecting his constituents. Born in Bethesda, Maryland, he resides in Austin and holds degrees from the University of Virginia and the University of Texas-Austin.
On May 2, 2025, a brief tweet, “MORE: https://t.co/OTw5SBiOm5”, was shared at 14:19:06 UTC, signaling additional insights or context regarding the budgetary changes.
Later, at 14:37:53 UTC, Roy highlighted a significant budgetary decision: “The President’s Budget ELIMINATES the Shelter and Services Program that massively facilitated illegal immigration into the United States, saving taxpayers $650 MILLION in direct cost and equal or greater second-order impacts.” This tweet shed light on the fiscal impact and immigration policies affected by the latest budget proposal.
Shortly after, at 14:40:39 UTC, Roy tweeted about another budget cut: “The President’s Budget ELIMINATES a $315 million grant program that was used as a tool of the Biden administration to push DEI policies into early care and education.” This comment reflects Roy’s stance on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in educational programs.
Chip Roy, having succeeded Lamar Smith, remains a vocal figure in Texas’ legislative delegation. His educational background includes a BS from the University of Virginia and a JD from the University of Texas-Austin.
