Biographical History

Elizabeth Ann Van Duyne (born November 16, 1970) is an American politician. A member of the Republican Party, she has served as the U.S. Representative for Texas's 24th congressional district since 2021.

Born in Ithaca, New York and raised in Amsterdam, New York and Cooperstown, New York, her family moved to Irving, Texas in 1986. Van Duyne graduated from Greenhill School in Addison, Texas before earning a B.A. from Cornell University. Throughout her career, she worked with small startup companies, mid-size private companies and Fortune 500 corporations alike. Van Duyne also ran a consulting business where she helped executives develop strategic business plans as well as negotiation strategies, grassroots coalition building and federal and state legislative policy strategies. In 2004, she was elected to the Irving City Council; in 2010, she stepped down from the council to successfully run for Mayor. In May 2017, President Donald Trump appointed Van Duyne as a regional administrator for the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), overseeing Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Arkansas. Following Kenny Marchant's August 2019 announcement that he would not run for reelection to the United States House of Representatives, Van Duyne announced her resignation from HUD so that she could run to succeed Marchant in representing Texas's 24th congressional district. After easily winning the Republican nomination, Van Duyne defeated Democrat Candace Valenzuela by a little more than one percentage point.

In the 117th Congress, Van Duyne belongs to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, House Small Business Committee, and the Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress.
