Roger Williams represents the 25th congressional district of Texas which stretches from Tarrant County in the north to Hays County in the south and includes much of the Texas Hill Country and Austin.
Roger attended Texas Christian University where he was an All-Southwest Conference baseball player and named to TCU’s All-Decade Team for the 1960s.
Upon graduating, Roger was drafted by the Atlanta Braves and played in their farm system for many years before deciding to begin a new career as a small business owner and the head baseball coach at TCU.
As a small business owner, I know firsthand the how intertwined the banking system is to the success of main street American businesses. I draw on this experience in my position on the House Financial Services Committee to ensure all Americans have access to competitively priced financial products and services. I remain committed to allowing the banking system to continue to flourish without the burden of excessive government intervention:
Passed the Bank Service Company Examination Coordination Act out of the House of Representatives to streamline the supervisory exam process on private companies.
Voted for the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (S. 2155), which was the largest banking regulatory relief package that was signed into law since the financial crisis in 2008
Worked to reign in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau by cosponsoring many different bills (H.R. 969, H.R. 2133, H.R. 4607, H.R. 1737), and had an amendment pass the House to prohibit any regulation coming from the CFPB with an economic impact of over $100 million dollars.
Passed the Bank Service Company Examination Coordination Act (H.R. 241) to streamline the supervisory exam process on private companies.
Introduced the Consumer Transaction Account Protection Act (H.R. 4501) to create more clear-cut guidelines for technology companies to partner with financial institutions.
Introduced the Preserving Small Business Lending Act of 2020 (H.R. 5574) to prevent the government from further encroaching on the normal business operations of community financial institutions.
Voted for the Financial CHOICE Act (H.R. 10), that would have repealed some of the most burdensome government regulations that were put in place following the 2008 financial crisis.
Led efforts to prevent against the CECL accounting standard from being implemented which would greatly affect the ability of financial institutions to give loans.
