In the 1992 elections, Romero was elected to the 103rd and 104th United States Congress as [[Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico]], and relocated to Washington, D.C. He was re-elected to the 105th and 106th United States Congress as well.

During his tenure as Resident Commissioner he campaigned for Puerto Rican [[U.S. state|statehood]], successfully proposed to Congress the derogation of the 936 tax code and endorsed the [[Young Project]], which sought to call a referendum to resolve Puerto Rico's political status. In 2000, he sought a third term but was defeated by [[Popular Democratic Party of Puerto Rico|PPD]]'s [[Aníbal Acevedo Vilá]]. He once again sought his party's nomination for the post of Resident Commissioner in 2003, but was defeated by [[Luis Fortuño]]. Although he retired from electoral politics, he remained active in [[New Progressive Party of Puerto Rico|PNP]] political gatherings, the Puerto Rico Democratic Party, the [[Democratic Party (United States)|United States Democratic party]], and was a member of the [[League of United Latin American Citizens]].
