House Republicans are committed to working with President Trump to deliver a stronger, more reliable economy for you, your business, and your family. Click here to read more.
Joint Chiefs of Staff Update
This weekend, President Trump named Army Chief of Staff General Mark A. Milley to succeed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Joseph Dunford. I first met Gen. Milley when he was named Commanding General of III Corps and Ft. Hood in Texas' 25th District. Since then, I have come to know him not only as a first-rate military leader, but as a friend.
Time and time again, I have called on Gen. Milley for his exceptional guidance on issues that range from the needs of ‘The Great Place,' to the needs of our soldiers' families. Unsurprisingly, he has done what is best for our men in women in uniform and kept the welfare of this nation at the forefront of his mind each time. Gen. Milley is the definition of a true American patriot, and President Trump could not have picked a better individual to serve as our country's highest-ranking military officer.
Legislative Update
Last week: although our agenda was cut short in order to pay our respects to former President George H.W. Bush, we were able to vote on five pieces of legislation in the House.
This week: I'll participate in a Financial Services Committee hearing on the Subcommittee on Monetary Policy and Trade, that I am vice chair of, on Wednesday at 9:00am CT.
I have included some articles and releases you may find interesting located on the right side of this newsletter. It is an honor and privilege to represent the people of Texas' 25th Congressional District and as always, please reach out to me with any issues and concerns that are important to you.
In God we trust,
Roger Williams
Member of Congress
