Independent Women’s Forum is pleased to announce that Rep. Beth Van Duyne of Texas' 24th Congressional District is the latest entry into our popular series of Champion Women profiles ([link removed]) .

She was the only Republican to win a race in a district that President Trump carried in 2016 but President-elect Joe Biden won in 2020. Democrats tried hard to pick up the seat, but Van Duyne triumphed with a narrow victory.

Van Duyne is the former mayor of Irving, Texas. Before that, she served on the City Council. “I remember sitting down with my daughter after three years and she convinced me to run for the second term. She thought it was the coolest thing ever,” Van Duyne says.

Van Duyne’s struggle to meet her daughter’s requirements has made her sensitive to the medical needs of other families. This meant confronting the top person at her insurance company. “I had to threaten that if the CEO would not call me back to at least tell me to my face, why the operation wouldn't be covered, that I would bring my daughter, who was about four months old, into his office and hang out there. At some point in time, he's going to have to leave his office to either go to the bathroom or to go home.”

With her combination of Texas charm and Texas tough, Beth Van Duyne is going to be a formidable addition to the 117th Congress.

We know you will enjoy meeting one of the new stars of Washington.
