JOUR-PAC is proud to endorse Chip Roy for Texas' 21st Congressional District. This district is currently represented by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX 21), who is retiring.
Chip Roy is the Vice President of Strategy for the Texas Public Policy Foundation and an active conservative leader with a proven record and would be a strong conservative reformer in Congress: "Chip Roy is a genuine conservative, a committed husband and father and a true patriot with extensive experience in both the private sector and public service. Most recently, Chip served as the Vice President of Strategy for the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Previously, he served in several top leadership positions for Texas elected officials, including as the First Assistant Attorney General of Texas under Ken Paxton. Prior to that, he served as Chief of Staff to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and as a senior advisor to Texas Governor Rick Perry – including as director of State-Federal Relations for the State of Texas. He is also a former federal prosecutor, having served as Special Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of Texas, and served Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) as staff director of his leadership office and senior counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee. He spent nearly 3 years as an investment banking analyst with NationsBanc Capital Markets. He received a B.S. in Commerce and an M.S. in Management Information Systems from the University of Virginia as well as a J.D. from the University of Texas. He is married to Carrah Roy, and has two children, Charlie and Virginia. He is a member of Hyde Park Baptist Church in Austin, Texas." The following are some of his positions on important issues: "Conservatism: The next U.S. Representative for the Texas 21st must demonstrate a genuine commitment to stand strong against the tidal wave of DC insiders and have a proven track record of doing so – on all issues – across the board. Almost all Republicans run on a standard checklist of issues – “be pro-God, be pro-gun, support the military, cut taxes, cut regulation, cut spending, end Obamacare, secure the border,” and the like, and almost all run as “conservative.” But these are just words. Conservatism is much more – and reflects a genuine commitment to limited constitutional government and the unlimited freedom and opportunity that it creates for mankind. Reduce Federal Spending: With $21 trillion in debt eclipsing our economy, we can and must reduce spending, which hasn’t slowed down regardless of the party in power. That’s because of how the Washington establishment – “the swamp” – operates. So I’ll fight the return of earmarks, used in the past for back-room deal making to grease the skids in exchange for K Street cronyism. We also need the willpower to pass a balanced budget and refuse to increase the debt ceiling without meaningful spending reductions. Instead, Congress prefers to unilaterally disarm and hide in the corner from accusation of “government shutdown.” This is unacceptable, and spending must be contained immediately. As a member of Congress, I will make reducing spending a top priority – as it is the best method of making Washington far less important in our lives – and breaking the back of the Washington establishment. Tax Reform: The recent tax bill was a great step forward for economic growth because it leaves far more money in the hands of the people and of small, medium and large businesses. Unfortunately, it still left the tax code far too complex and far too onerous. We must simplify taxes – whether it’s repealing the 16th Amendment and going to national sales tax, or going to a simple flat tax that can be filled out on a postcard under the current system – or considering a truly federalist approach and allowing states to collect taxes as they see fit and remit to the treasury… we must reduce the annual burden and cost of the massively complex federal tax code. April 15th should not be a consequential date in your life unless it happens to be Easter or Good Friday." He has also received the endorsement of some prominent conservative leaders and groups: JOUR-PAC Reformer Senator Mike Lee (R-UT): "We desperately need people like Chip Roy in the U.S. Congress. The problem is there are far too few of them. You can help with that. Please help me elect Chip to the U.S. Congress." House Freedom Fund: "We are proud to announce our endorsement of Chip Roy (R-TX) for Congress in the 21st district of Texas where Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX) is retiring. Chip Roy is a rock-solid conservative who has a long record of fighting for our principles and values. He has served as a federal prosecutor, Senator Ted Cruz’s chief of staff, an advisor to Governor Rick Perry, the First Assistant Attorney General of Texas, and recently as a top strategist for the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Chip is a full-spectrum conservative who voters can count on to deliver on his campaign promises. And his experience will allow him to hit the ground running if he’s elected next year." Club for Growth: "Club for Growth PAC is excited to announce our endorsement of Chip Roy for Congress,” stated Club for Growth PAC President David McIntosh. “Cut from the same cloth as Sens. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, Chip is exactly the type of fiscal conservative Congress needs.” “He has dedicated his career to upholding the law and constitutional principles of limited government. From his time fighting in the trenches to repeal Obamacare and cut federal spending, there’s no question about where Chip stands on the issues. “While the Republican primary field may be a crowded one, there’s only one true conservative in this race – and that’s Chip Roy. Club for Growth PAC is all-in and looks forward to all the great conservative policies Chip will champion when he comes to serve Texas in Congress in 2019.” Chip Roy has the experience and policy-driven knowledge to serve with honor and integrity as a strong representative for the people of Texas' 21st Congressional District. He is a just, compassionate, results-driven candidate who will pursue justice, opportunity, and reform in Congress. Therefore, JOUR-PAC officially endorses Chip Roy for Texas' 21st Congressional District! We urge the citizens of Texas' 21st Congressional District to support Chip Roy for Congress.
