Meet Roger Williams

Roger Williams is the Representative for the 25th Congressional District. His district stretches from Tarrant County in the east to Callahan County in the west. Congressman Williams is also proud to serve as the Chairman of the House Committee on Small Business and a member of the House Financial Services Committee.  

Texas Roots

Roger was raised in Fort Worth, Texas, 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. He currently serves on the TCU Board of Trustees.

Roger lives in Weatherford, Texas, and is proud to call TX-25 home alongside his two daughters and grandchildren. 

The Conservative Movement

In 1994, Williams began his political career as a fundraiser for the then-Governor George W. Bush and then became the North Texas Finance Chairman for the Bush/Cheney 2000 Presidential campaign.  

In 2005, Williams was appointed to serve as Texas Secretary of State, where he helped usher in unprecedented economic growth to the state. He also served as the state's Chief Liaison for the Texas Border and Mexican Affairs. 

Path to Congress  

Williams was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2012. Since then, he has focused on legislation that fosters economic development, strengthens national security, and protects the rights of Texans. As chairman of the House Committee on Small Business, he leads efforts to support entrepreneurship and ensure that federal policy works for Main Street America. 

Legislative Achievements  

As a legislator, he continues to prioritize his seven pillars: lower taxes, less governance, cutting spending, defending our borders, listening to your generals, understanding the 10th amendment, and always standing with Israel.
