Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, currently representing Texas’ 24th district in the U.S. Congress, took to social media on May 1, 2025, to share several legislative and local engagements. Her communications highlighted efforts in reversing federal mandates, engaging with local industrial leaders, and addressing regulatory costs imposed on businesses.
On May 1, 2025, Van Duyne announced the reversal of “three electric vehicle Biden-era mandates” alongside her House GOP colleagues. “Over the last two days, my @HouseGOP colleagues and I have reversed three electric vehicle Biden-era mandates that were harming the American auto industry and restricting consumer choice, driving up prices. We want to ensure that Americans have the opportunity to find a vehicle.” This legislative action aims to reduce the impact of federal mandates on the auto industry, which, according to Van Duyne, were limiting consumer options and increasing costs.
Later that day, Van Duyne shared about her meeting with Lisa Atherton of Bell Flight, emphasizing its significance as the company is “one of the largest employers in our area.” “I recently had the opportunity to meet with Lisa Atherton of Bell Flight, an aerospace manufacturer that is headquartered in Fort Worth, and one of the largest employers in our area.” This meeting reflects her focus on local employment and industrial relations within her district.
Further, Van Duyne criticized the Biden Administration’s regulatory costs, commenting that they are detrimental to American businesses. On May 1, 2025, she stated, “The Biden Administration imposed $1.8 trillion of regulatory costs, hurting our American job creators. We need to support our local job creators by making it easier for them to do their jobs instead of following federal regulations. The Small Business Regulatory Reduction Act.” This message highlights her legislative efforts to alleviate regulatory burdens on local businesses.
Beth Van Duyne, who has been serving in Congress since 2021, succeeded Kenny Marchant and is involved in initiatives to support economic growth and job creation in her district. Born in Ithaca, New York, in 1970, and a Cornell University alumna, Van Duyne currently lives in Irving.
