History: Before his election to Congress, Chip Roy served as chief of staff to Senator Ted Cruz and as first assistant attorney general of Texas. Though initially Roy saw politics “as an avocation, a sort of interest, but not something I would do anytime soon, if ever”, his mind began to change when, while still in law school, he began working for then-Texas attorney general John Cornyn on his 2002 campaign for the United States Senate.
Roy attended the University of Virginia, receiving a Bachelor of Science in commerce in 1994 and a Master of Science in information systems in 1995. After graduation Roy spent three years as an investment banking analyst.
