Outgoing Rep Chip Roy says the GOP has already 'delivered significantly,' but must 'finish the job'

"Well, we've done so much that frankly, it kinda gets lost in a lot of the noise," Roy told Fox News Digital during an interview on Wednesday, pointing to issues such as tax provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed by President Donald Trump last year.

Roy said Republicans "need to unite with a singular vision about where we wanna take the country if we wanna be... rewarded in November... and then frankly looking ahead to 2028."

"Have we done everything we should do? No," Roy said, claiming that "Congress has fallen short" regarding some of what they "should do."

But he still believes the GOP could potentially retain their majorities in both congressional chambers during the midterms.

"Obviously I'm not campaigning. So I'm thinking a lot about what we could do with another reconciliation package or what we might be able to do in the lame duck or in January, when I'm not in office," he noted.

The proposal "creates the option for a new category of care, parent-based child care, that will allow one married parent to receive C.C.D.F. [Child Care and Development Fund] assistance to care for their own child, while a spouse works at least 35 hours per week," the outlet reported, citing a draft document.

Roy said during the interview on Wednesday, "I just don't believe that it's good for the human soul to have the government coming in with a grant and making you dependent on government. I just don't philosophically think that that's freedom. I think freedom, non-dependence, independence is what makes America great."

As for whether he has any interest in running for office again, Roy said the matter is "up to God" and to Texans, adding that he has "a calling for service" and his current focus is on attempting to "solve the big problems for" Americans.
