Roger Williams, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas’ 25th district, has shared his views on recent developments and initiatives through a series of tweets. Williams, who has been serving in Congress since 2013, voiced his opinions on regulatory changes, energy policies, and support for small business owners.

On February 1, 2025, Williams expressed approval for changes at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). He stated that these changes signify an end to what he described as "extreme regulatory overreach" that has adversely affected American businesses and consumers. He concluded his tweet with gratitude towards the President: "Today marks a new day at the @CFPB, ending the extreme regulatory overreach that has devastated American businesses and consumers. Thank you @POTUS!"

In another tweet dated February 3, 2025, Williams criticized previous energy policies under Democratic leadership. He accused them of raising costs for American families and increasing dependency on foreign nations. He highlighted the commitment of House Republicans to address these issues by tapping into domestic resources: "For too long, Democrats raised the costs of energy and goods for American families and made the U.S. dependent on foreign nations. @HouseGOP will utilize our resources to #UnleashAmericanEnergy."

On the same day, Williams addressed small business owners in Texas' 25th district about navigating Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting requirements set by FinCEN. He announced a virtual information session to be held on February 12th alongside Rep Monica De La Cruz and TXCPAs: " Attention #TX25 small business owners As a small business owner myself, I know how tough it can be to navigate BOI reporting. Join my virtual info session with @RepMonicaDLC and @TXCPAs to break down FinCEN’s BOI requirements and how they impact you."
