Roy is known for conservative stances on secure borders, fiscal restraint, and limited government, authoring legislation to designate drug cartels as terrorists, block Chinese land purchases, ban congressional stock trading, and bolster election integrity and Second Amendment rights.( He gained attention for opposing Kevin McCarthy's House Speaker bid in late 2022, demanding reforms like ending Ukraine aid.( Recently, Roy has traded stocks such as T, CVX, ET, XOM, and KMI, drawing public scrutiny under the STOCK Act—which mandates disclosure of such trades by members of Congress—amid broader debates on congressional insider trading, especially given his sponsorship of a stock trading ban bill.(
