Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, who represents Texas’ 24th district in the U.S. Congress, highlighted recent legislative efforts and economic updates through a series of posts on April 8, 2026.
In her first post at 00:12 UTC, Van Duyne emphasized the role of small businesses in the American economy. She stated, “American small businesses power our economy By making the Small Business Deduction permanent, restoring 100% of immediate expensing, and enhancing the small business deduction, House Republicans are delivering real relief for our nation’s job creators.”
Later that day at 15:38 UTC, she invited followers to join a live event in Dallas with Axios reporter M. Ccuri. Van Duyne wrote, “Tune in NOW as I join @m_ccuri at @Axios live in Dallas! Watch below https://t.co/CAdSGKC2Cl”
At 18:28 UTC on April 8, Van Duyne shared information about tax refunds and recent tax legislation. She posted, “Tax refunds are running around 11% higher compared to this time last year! Americans are seeing larger refunds this year thanks to provisions in the Working Families Tax Cuts – including no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and real relief for seniors.”
Van Duyne has represented Texas’s 24th District since replacing Kenny Marchant in 2021. She has secured her seat through three consecutive elections: defeating Candace Valenzuela in 2020 with a narrow margin (48.8% to 47.5%), Jan McDowell in 2022 (59.7% to 40.3%), and Sam Eppler in 2024 by a wider margin (60.3% to 39.7%). Born in Ithaca, New York in 1970 and currently residing in Irving at age 52, Van Duyne continues to focus her legislative messaging on economic issues affecting working families and small businesses.
