Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, who represents Texas’ 24th district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of updates on April 3, 2026, addressing healthcare access, local sports events, and community recognition.
In her first post of the day, Van Duyne highlighted her involvement in a bipartisan initiative to improve healthcare accessibility: “I joined a bipartisan effort to urge @CMSGov to prioritize patients by expanding access to urgent care centers. Right now, our emergency rooms are overcrowded and overpriced for non-emergent needs. To learn more about this effort, read here: https://t.co/3FcptppIEl https://t.co/PBtyWcCKEC” (April 3, 2026). The congresswoman’s statement reflects ongoing concerns over emergency room congestion and the need for alternatives for non-urgent medical situations.
Later that afternoon, Van Duyne acknowledged a major local sporting event: “It’s Opening Day here in North Texas! Excited for another season of @Rangers baseball!! #AllForTX https://t.co/EO9vSj4KDQ” (April 3, 2026).
In an evening post recognizing community service, she wrote: “This week’s #TX24 Hometown Hero is David Jones, who recently retired after serving as @Addison_Fire Chief. With 31 years in the fire service, he worked his way up from firefighter and licensed paramedic to leading the department as Fire Chief. https://t.co/lVKViyyaOQ” (April 3, 2026).
Beth Van Duyne has represented Texas’s 24th District since replacing Kenny Marchant in Congress in 2021. She has won multiple elections for this seat; most recently in 2024 against Sam Eppler with approximately 60% of the vote. Previously she secured victories over Jan McDowell in 2022 and Candace Valenzuela in 2020. Born in Ithaca, New York in 1970 and currently residing in Irving at age 52, Van Duyne continues her legislative work focused on both national policy issues and local community engagement.
