Williams seeks re-election to TX-25

Congressman Roger Williams is seeking reelection for the 25th Congressional District of Texas on the Republican Party ticket against challengers Vince Crabb and Matthew Lucci for the March 5 primary.

“It’s an honor to represent Texas’ 25th Congressional District and I look forward to continuing to work with all the great people of this district in 2024 and beyond,” Williams said. “I am proud to have a lifetime America Conservative Union (CPAC) rating of over 90% and honored to once again be endorsed by President Donald Trump!”

Williams was raised in the Fort Worth area and attended Texas Christian University, where he was an All-Southwest Conference baseball player and named to TCU’s All Decade Team for the 1960s.

Upon graduating, Williams was drafted by the Atlanta Braves and played in their farm system for many years before deciding to begin a new career as a small business owner and the head baseball coach at TCU.

His love of sports has followed Congressman Williams to the Capitol, where he is the chair of the bipartisan Congressional Baseball Caucus and the College Football Caucus. He is also the coach and manager of the Republican Congressional Baseball Team.

Williams was appointed by Governor Rick Perry in 2005 to serve as Texas Secretary of State. He also served as the state’s Chief Liaison for the Texas Border and Mexican Affairs.

In 2012, Williams was elected to Congress and has been the voice for Main Street America and families across the country.

For more than 50 years, he has run a family-owned car dealership and calf-cow operation. In the 118th Congress, Congressman Williams is proud to be the Chairman of the House Small Business Committee and to serve on the House Financial Services Committee.

“I’m proud to be your Chairman of the House Small Business Committee,” Williams said. “And thanks to our conservative principles here in Texas, Texas is open for business. Under President Trump, America was open for business. But under Joe Biden, our American economy has become woke and broke,” he said.

As part of his platform, Williams stays focused on issues ranging from government deregulation, fiscal conservatism, helping struggling businesses recover from the COVID-19 lockdowns, and more. As a legislator, he continues to prioritize his seven pillars: lower taxes, less governance, cutting spending, defending our borders, listening to our generals, understandingthe10thamendment and always standing with Israel.

Williams has stated the 2024 election is the most important election of his lifetime.

“2024 must be the year that we retake our country from the woke, communist party of Joe Biden and make America Great Again,” said Williams. “All around the world, and right here at home, you see a world in crisis. Right here in the Greatest Country in the world you see open borders flooding our towns with drugs and illegal immigrants who all too often here for bad reasons.” “You see crime on the rise while woke cities cut police forces,” he continued. “You see a Biden Administration forcing our schools to allow boys to use the girl’s restroom and libraries to carry explicit books to pollute and indoctrinate our children’s minds. It’s time we kick the woke communists out of power.”

One portion of his platform Williams is focused on is securing the border between Mexico and the United States.

“Each and every day I am pushing back on attempts by Biden to tear down the wall,,” he said. “From my first day in Congress, I have fought to protect Americans from illegal immigration, starting by opposing the Obama era amnesty program and voting to provide over $5 billion dollars to build a border wall. I have led seven bills this Congress to support border security, restrict asylum, and protect Texas from migrant crisis.”

He is the author of the Remain in Mexico bill that would make permanent the Trump era policy requiring asylum seekers to wait for their court date in Mexico.

“I am co-author of the most comprehensive and consequential border plan in our nation’s history, H.R. 2, the Secure Our Border Act, which has passed the House and would restart the border wall construction, end dangerous catch and release and includes my Remain in Mexico bill,” William said. “I recently introduced the STOP Act, that gives Texas the authority to secure our borders, protect the lives of Texans and reimburses Texas for any state tax dollars spent on border security. The federal government can either take responsibility for the crisis at our southern border or get out of the way.”

The Congressman said he will not vote for any funding for Ukraine, authored by a democrat or a republican, until the border is secured.

“Friends, we need an American economy that is booming, we need to make the Trump tax cuts permanent, we need to get rid of Joe Biden’s woke, job killing regulations, we need to secure our borders and reclaim our national sovereignty, we need to ‘drill, baby, drill,’ we need to restore law and order, we need a military focused on winning battles and not LGBTQ recruiting, we need a president that ends wars and not drags us in to endless wars,” Williams said.
