United States Representative Roger Williams was selected to serve as Chairman of the House Small Business Committee for the 118th Congress, which convened in early January 2023. Williams, the owner of Williams Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Weatherford, was first elected to serve in Congress in 2012 to serve the 25th congressional district. This will be his first opportunity to chair a House Committee. The committee, first established as a Select Committee in 1941, has grown in stature over time, gaining standing committee status in 1975 and granted legislative jurisdiction and oversight functions. As one of few business owners in Congress, he intends to focus the committee’s attention on issues ranging from government deregulation, fiscal conservatism, and helping small business owners who are struggling. In addition to Roger, three other Texans were selected to serve as Chairs in the new Congress. Jody Arrington from Lubbock will Chair the House Budget Committee, Kay Granger of Fort Worth will Chair the House Appropriations Committee, and Michael McCaul of Austin will Chair the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Congratulations to all.
