DALLAS, Texas — Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, has worn a lot of hats in his career. From working under former Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Attorney General Ken Paxton to now serving as the representative for the Lone Star State’s 21st Congressional District, the Freedom Caucus Republican has spent years of public service advancing conservative priorities in the best way he knows how.

But for Roy, that service is going to look much different come January.

The stalwart conservative will not be returning to Congress next year following an unsuccessful bid to become Texas’ next attorney general. He is poised to be succeeded by former Major League Baseball star and Republican Mark Teixeira, who will face off against Democrat Kristin Hook in the upcoming midterm elections. The seat is considered “solid Republican.”

With a few months left in office, Roy is taking some time to reflect on his House tenure and what the future may hold. The Texas congressman spoke with The Federalist at last weekend’s State Freedom Caucus Network Summit to discuss the wins he and his House Freedom Caucus colleagues were able to secure for conservatives over the past few years, as well as preview what he sees as the biggest challenges the party will likely face in the years ahead.

In “the House, with the House Freedom Caucus’ leadership, I believe that we’ve delivered on a lot of things. Not everything, but a lot,” Roy told The Federalist.

For the Texas Republican, this list of victories includes successfully including a provision in the Laken Riley Act that permits states to sue the federal government over alleged failures regarding immigration enforcement. The law also requires federal immigration officials to detain certain illegal aliens arrested for a variety of crimes, ranging from larceny to assault of a law enforcement officer.
