U.S. Rep. Chip Roy speaks with city leaders, officials

U.S. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas, 21) said he felt very good about the direction the country was headed, despite a lot of "political noise," which he said was frustrating for both sides of the aisle.

Roy spoke to a group of San Marcos business leaders, local officials, and board members during a chamber breakfast Thursday. 

"Over the last decade, we've been languishing in and around 1 % economic growth. In the last year and a half, we've seen an uptick of that growth now at 2.7 %," he said. "We're watching the numbers now, unemployment is way down, Texas is the tip of the spear leading in economic growth, not just the country to the world."
