I am fighting each day to lower taxes and cut the burdensome regulations that hurt small businesses and stifle economic growth.
Evidence
The White House said President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill into law and highlighted the largest tax cut in history, including no tax on tips and no tax on overtime.
The House clerk’s roll call shows Roger Williams (TX) voted Aye on H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which passed the House.
Chairman Roger Williams said the committee hearing would pursue deregulation and that excessive regulations had been a barrier to success for small businesses.
The committee marked up seven bills aimed at the Biden-Harris regulatory agenda and described them as targeting burdensome regulations on small businesses.
Williams said the committee was fighting to extend small business tax cuts and make the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent.
Williams said the bill would expand access to capital for small manufacturers and help them grow, modernize, and compete.
The House Small Business Committee held a June 3, 2026 hearing where Williams said excessive bureaucratic barriers and rising regulatory costs hurt small contractors.
Williams' prepared opening statement for the same hearing said complex compliance requirements and layers of bureaucracy make it harder for small businesses to compete.
Assessments
Williams materially supported the 'lower taxes' part of the promise during the same term by advocating for small-business tax relief and voting for H.R. 1, which became law in July 2025 and was described by the White House as a major tax-cut package. On the 'cut burdensome regulations' part, the evidence shows sustained committee hearings, statements, and markup activity targeting regulatory burdens on small businesses, but it does not show a clearly completed deregulatory law or rule that can be credited to him yet. Because one major component was advanced into enacted policy while the regulatory component remains mostly effort rather than completed delivery, the overall promise is best scored as partial.
Williams materially supported the lower-taxes portion by voting for H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which passed Congress and was signed into federal law in 2025 while he was serving in the House. He also used his Small Business Committee role to advocate for and advance anti-regulatory measures, including hearings and markups aimed at burdensome regulations. However, the evidence does not show that Williams delivered a completed federal deregulation outcome comparable to the tax law, so the combined promise to lower taxes and cut burdensome regulations is only partially fulfilled. Because he made serious legislative and committee efforts on the regulatory side, the effort badge is warranted.
Williams supported and voted for a major enacted 2025 tax-cut package, which satisfies part of the promise to lower taxes. The record also shows sustained committee hearings, markups, and advocacy aimed at reducing regulatory burdens on small businesses, but the provided evidence does not establish that a broad regulatory-cutting outcome was enacted or fully delivered. Because one major component was delivered and the other shows serious effort without confirmed completion, the best classification is partial.
