Background & current office

Chip Roy is a Republican representative from Texas's 21st Congressional District. Congress.gov records House service from the 116th through the 119th Congresses, beginning in 2019.

Roy's official House biography records prior service as First Assistant Attorney General of Texas, chief of staff to Senator Ted Cruz, an adviser to Governor Rick Perry, Senate Judiciary Committee staff director under Senator John Cornyn, and a federal prosecutor.

His official biography lists current service on the House Judiciary, Rules and Budget Committees and identifies him as policy chair of the House Freedom Caucus. His office also records longstanding sponsorship and support for congressional stock-trading restrictions; those policy positions are presented as legislative record, not as a FactFlag Meter judgment.
