Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, representing Texas’s 24th congressional district, shared updates on federal regulatory policy, IRS oversight, and local business engagement in a series of posts on August 1, 2025.
In her first post at 16:07 UTC, Van Duyne addressed the impact of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on federal regulations. She stated, “A lesser heralded role of DOGE was to decimate the federal regulatory regime. I have long said, ‘It’s not sexy, but if we can obliterate the vast, unnecessary, and costly regulations coming out of agencies, we can then get rid of the regulators and save our country billions of'” (August 1, 2025).
Later that day at 17:50 UTC, Van Duyne reported efforts to challenge an IRS decision. She wrote, “This week I joined my colleagues in demanding the withdrawal of Revenue Ruling 2024-14, which unfairly targeted legitimate business transactions. Following our efforts, two senior IRS officials have been placed on leave. This is a step toward restoring accountability and fairness” (August 1, 2025).
At 18:52 UTC on the same day, Van Duyne highlighted her meeting with a local company in her district. She posted about visiting Remac Group: “Had a great meeting with the Remac Group, a family-owned small business right here in #TX24! For over 35 years, their J. Renee’ brand has delivered dependable women’s footwear.” (August 1, 2025).
Beth Van Duyne has held her seat since defeating Candace Valenzuela in a closely contested race in 2020. She subsequently won re-election against Jan McDowell in 2022 and Sam Eppler in 2024 by increasingly wide margins.
