Team,
Our opponent's biggest fear is that the people of Austin and Central Texas learn about what he's actually been up to as their member of Congress and vote him out.
As if quadrupling his wealth during his tenure in the House wasn't enough, when Roger Williams had an opportunity to help small business owners in TX-25 struggling to get through this unprecedented economic and public health crisis, he chose to help himself instead.
"There was nothing in the bill that said members of Congress couldn't participate in this, but I don't regret it at all." —Congressman Roger Williams in a Fox Business interview
Congress created the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) earlier this year to keep small businesses and their employees afloat through the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, the funds dried up quickly for many local business owners like the Franklins because Roger Williams — already one of the wealthiest members of Congress — couldn't resist taking more than $1 million for his personal business while saying unemployed Texans deserve $0 in unemployment benefits.
For too long, privileged politicians have abused their power at the expense of people like us. That ends now. We must demand accountability from our leaders — and that starts with electing people like Julie, who will fight for it.
But before that happens, we have a campaign — a campaign within the margin of error! — to win.
Thanks for coming through at this critical moment,
Julia Doubleday
