WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Roger Williams (R – Austin) today released the following statement after Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States of America on the west front of the U.S. Capitol:

"This afternoon, our nation witnessed the most miraculous part of our system of government – the peaceful transfer of power. Despite opposition, anger and divisiveness, we have, once again, proven that this institution, our way of life, is more powerful than our petty differences. I look forward to working with President Trump as we work to rebuild our military and infrastructure, rein in an out-of-control federal bureaucracy and restore economic opportunity for all."

Williams, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, serves as Vice Chair on the Subcommittee on Monetary Policy and Trade.
