Chip Roy, serving as a U.S. Congressman for Texas's 21st District since 2019, has been vocal on issues concerning congressional processes and budgetary policies. Born in Bethesda, Maryland, Roy now resides in Austin and holds degrees from the University of Virginia and the University of Texas-Austin. His press office released several statements on various topics through his social media accounts.
On April 3, 2025, Roy’s press office shared a message, though the content remains unspecified: "MORE: https://t.co/baJ7s3dK7C".
On April 4, 2025, Roy addressed the issue of proxy voting, arguing its unconstitutionality: "Proxy voting is unconstitutional—a fact as clear today as it was during COVID. The Founders considered and rejected it, which is why I’ve never cast a vote by proxy or on behalf of someone else. As one of just 435 members entrusted to represent 750,000 Americans, we have a duty".
Later that day, Roy communicated his views on fiscal responsibility to the Wall Street Journal. He remarked: "For too long, Republicans have taken the easy path of saying that tax relief is the thing that's going to motivate them, but we've got to do our part to make sure that we're doing the job to actually get deficits down."
