Rep. Chip Roy has represented Texas’s 21st District since replacing Lamar Smith in 2019. He has consistently won re-election, most recently defeating Kristin Hook in the 2024 general election with 61.9% of the vote. Previous victories include defeating Claudia Zapata in 2022 with 62.8%, Wendy Davis in 2020 with 52%, and Joseph Kopser in 2018 with a margin of just over two percentage points.
These statements reflect ongoing debates within Congress about border policy and the regulation of emerging technologies amid environmental concerns in Texas.
