Rep. Chip Roy Press Office, the official communication channel for Congressman Chip Roy, shared several statements on May 20, 2025, regarding fiscal policy and voting rights. Rep. Roy is a U.S. Congressman representing Texas’ 21st district since 2019, having succeeded Lamar Smith. Born in Bethesda, Maryland in 1972, he resides in Austin and holds degrees from the University of Virginia and the University of Texas-Austin.
In a tweet posted at 19:49 UTC, Rep. Roy expressed his views on financial legislation during an appearance with Dana Loesch. He stated, “I think you’ve got those of us who want to keep tightening down to make it better and to try to get more savings, legitimate savings, and reduce deficits.” He emphasized that even under favorable analysis, only about one and a half trillion dollars could be realized in savings through current measures.
Later that day at 20:11 UTC, Rep. Roy addressed federal borrowings related to renewable energy projects in Texas. He claimed that “$3 billion a year flows from federal borrowings into the pockets of corporations in Texas for ongoing wind and solar that are connected to the grid,” calling for an end to what he termed as the “Green New Scam.”
At 20:37 UTC, Rep. Roy criticized Democratic efforts concerning voting rights for non-citizens by stating that Democrats “WANT non-citizens to vote.” He advocated for the passage of the #SAVEAct to ensure that only American citizens participate in U.S elections.
