2026 Texas General Election

In response to a 2020 candidate-guide question asking how to reduce federal deficits, Van Duyne pointed to Irving's balanced budgets and wrote: "Congress must show broad restraint on federal 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."

In response to a 2020 candidate-guide question on changes to U.S. trade policy, Van Duyne wrote: "United States trade policy should always be focused on gaining fair access to other markets for our products, services, and with the American worker always in mind. When we have trade policies that put our nation at a disadvantage and harm our ability to fairly compete, especially with state sponsored or subsidized businesses, we should either re-negotiate or exit those trade policies altogether."

Republican Study Committee (RSC) Budget and Spending Task Force Chair Beth Van Duyne (TX-24) and RSC Chairman August Pfluger (TX-11) today released the RSC Budget, a comprehensive fiscal roadmap that balances the federal budget within ten years by returning spending to pre-pandemic levels and putting an end to Washington’s reckless spending habits. Van Duyne said: "As Chair of the Budget and Spending Task Force, I have prioritized a return to pre-pandemic spending levels and a balanced federal budget as soon as possible – which our budget will do in ten years."

In response to a 2020 candidate-guide question on federal action on climate change, Van Duyne wrote that technological changes had supported energy independence and reduced emissions, then said: "Certainly, we can do more by supporting the further development of more sources of low or no emission baseload power. I am particularly interested in next generation nuclear reactors that are smaller, safer, can be sited virtually anywhere and create much less waste."

In response to a 2020 candidate-guide question asking whether she supported a path to citizenship, Van Duyne wrote: "We need relationships with ICE and local law enforcement so criminal illegals are being apprehended, and deported. For those in our country who are not committing crimes or have been in the US since they were children, we should create a pathway to legal status (not citizenship)."

In response to a 2020 candidate-guide question on immigration law and border barriers, Van Duyne wrote: "It is critical for Congress to take border control seriously and deal with the damage drug cartels are causing. In addition to closing asylum loopholes, we need to build walls where the border patrol needs them and hire more border agents to deal with surges of illegal immigrants and interdict drug trafficking."

Supports legal status, but not citizenship, for undocumented immigrants who do not commit crimes or who arrived in the United States as children.
