WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX-25) today released the following statement after House Democrats introduced two formal articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump:
While Democrats remain fixated on impeachment in Washington, November's newly-released Jobs Report shows that 266,000 jobs were added to our economy last month and our national unemployment rate still remains at its lowest level in five decades.

Opinion: Our nation's military needs a defense bill
As we gather together with family and friends during the holiday season, I hope we will all take pause and think of our military servicemembers who will spend their Thanksgiving and Christmas deployed in our nation's defense.
WASHINGTON — Eight of America's most prominent bankers had been grilled for more than two hours at the House Financial Services Committee by the time Austin Rep. Roger Williams got his five-minute period to engage them.
The Republican, often ebullient, was solemn-faced.
He sized up the finance barons gathered on Capitol Hill that spring morning — the likes of JP Morgan Chase's Jamie Dimon, Bank of America's Brian Moynihan and Goldman Sachs' David Solomon — and told them that they each must answer a straightforward question.
As we gather together with our loved ones today, I want to take a moment to reflect with gratitude on the great blessing we have living the United States of America.
We are, and always will be, the land of opportunity and a beacon of hope to the rest of the world. Though we may sometimes disagree on the finer points of policy or vision, we are immeasurably blessed with the guaranteed virtue of freedom. We have a responsibility to steward it well, and I pray we never forget it came at a precious cost.
True bipartisan victories are rare on Capitol Hill, and we happen to be staring at one right in front of us: the USMCA. Instead of accepting this win for Texas and our nation, House Democrats are more interested in pursuing political theater in the hallowed halls of Congress. Each of the Democrats' star witnesses testifying during this week's impeachment hearings failed to produce any evidence of "high crimes or misdemeanors" committed by President Trump. Their baseless inquiry continues at the expense of passing legislation that benefits the American people.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX-25) today released the following statement after voting against the continuing resolution, or short-term spending bill, to fund the federal government until December 20, 2019:
While Democrats continue wasting valuable time with bogus impeachment hearings, the clock on our legislative calendar is ticking down. We have yet to pass a budget that responsibly funds our government, which means next week we must vote on a short-term continuing resolution that kicks the can down the road and continues the cycle of wasteful spending. Our national debt just reached $23 trillion, taxes will be automatically increasing for families and businesses soon, and we still have not passed USMCA.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX-25) today released the following statement after voting against the partisan United States Export Finance Agency Act of 2019 (H.R. 4863):
Today marks an important day for our country as we pause to honor the men and women who committed their lives in service to our nation. It is a day to reflect on the blessings of freedom and liberty, bought and paid for by those who answered the call to arms.
