FreedomWorks is proud to honor Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) as the member of the month for June 2019.

Roy serves not only to represent his constituents but also to better the lives of all Americans by exposing and fighting against the status quo Washington ways that have put us $22 trillion in debt and left us more burdened by government than our founding fathers ever could have imagined.
