Beth Van Duyne, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Texas' 24th district since 2021, has been vocal on social media about her support for policies related to trade and immigration, as well as honoring military service members. Originally from Ithaca, New York, Van Duyne graduated from Cornell University in 1995 and currently resides in Irving.

On March 24, 2025, she expressed her support for initiatives led by Rep. Arrington and former President Trump aimed at enhancing American agricultural exports. She noted that during Trump's first term strong trade agreements were negotiated which expanded market access and ensured accountability among trade partners. "Glad to support @RepArrington and President Trump in this effort to boost American agricultural exports! During President Trump’s first term, he negotiated strong trade agreements that expanded access to markets and held trade partners accountable."

In another statement on March 25, 2025, Van Duyne applauded Trump's decision to terminate a program from the Biden administration era that reportedly used taxpayer funds for transporting illegal aliens into the United States. She highlighted concerns over mass-parole grants under this program. "I applaud President Trump’s decision to end a dangerous Biden-era program that used taxpayer funds to fly more than half a million illegal aliens into our country at taxpayer expense, then unlawfully grant mass-parole. This will save countless American lives!"

Later on the same day, Van Duyne acknowledged National Medal of Honor Day by recognizing the sacrifices of service members who have received the Medal of Honor. She also mentioned the opening of the National Medal of Honor Museum in North Texas as a tribute to these individuals. "On National Medal of Honor Day, we recognize the 3,528 service members who have received the Medal of Honor for going above and beyond in the call of duty. The National Medal of Honor Museum is officially open in North Texas, offering a beautiful tribute to these heroes!"
