Candidate positionThe people of the 24th District deserve to have a representative who is committed to being a strong voice and fierce advocate for them. While Congress has been focused on attacking the President, critical issues for the American people are being ignored: lowering the cost of healthcare, stopping the drug cartels and human traffickers from exploiting loopholes on our southern border, passing a much needed infrastructure bill, and empowering more growth for our hard- working families. We need a U.S. Representative who is focused on delivering solutions and putting progress for the American people ahead of political theater and nonsense.

Candidate positionMy priorities will be the priorities that people in the 24th District have been telling me about: 1) focus the federal government on stopping the drug cartels and human traffickers, securing the border with walls where the Border Patrol isasking for them, and getting cartels designated as foreign terrorist operations so we can bring new tools to bear on these murderous organizations; 2) lowering the cost of health care by expanding options and putting people back in charge of their relationships with doctors; and 3) passing an infrastructure bill so we can help rebuild roads, bridges, and flood control.

Candidate positionAs Mayor of Irving, we passed a balanced budget every year and maintained aAAA bond rating, while maintaining city services and paying our public safetyofficials. We had to prioritize projects and control debt we took on to make surewe had the funds necessary to service the debt. This is the mindset andexperience I would take to Congress. Congress must show broad restraint onfederal spending in order to bring down the federal deficit and eventually reduce debt. Additionally, we need to reduce federal regulations which only increase the size of government and costs to our businesses.

Candidate positionGiven the remarkable transformation in technology, especially here in Texas, that has allowed our country to become nearly energy independent and driven the development of more clean power plants, we are enjoying a period whereemissions are reducing.

About Beth Van Duyne
Candidate positionI’ve been asked what prompted me to run for public office; the answer is simple – my children. We live in a very fragile time for our nation, our families, and the future of the American Dream. Socialism is on the rise, our border crisis has never been worse, and we face constant threats from hostile nations willing to use cyber-attacks, nuclear weapons, and terrorist jihad. When I think about my two children, I want them to have the same opportunities in life that I did; I want them to be able to grow up safe and proud of our country.
