Vote-vs-platform contradictions 4

Roll-call votes that contradict the official's own stated platform commitments. Each links to the bill and the contradiction rationale.

40% of 10 rated votes contradicted the stated platform
  • H.R. 8035 ↗ NAY 2024-04-20
    Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024
    why contradicted?
    [reversal] Opposed $60.8 billion in Ukraine military and humanitarian aid after supporting Ukraine lend-lease in 2022. Earned an 'F' from Republicans for Ukraine for voting against every major Ukraine aid measure after her initial support.
  • H.R. 3684 ↗ NAY 2021-11-05
    Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
    why contradicted?
    [against_constituent] One of only 13 House Republicans to vote for the bill. Van Duyne opposed it, then later touted DFW Airport grants made possible by the law. The bill funded critical infrastructure in the rapidly growing DFW metroplex.
  • H.R. 1319 ↗ NAY 2021-02-27
    American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
    why contradicted?
    [against_constituent] Opposed $1.9 trillion COVID relief, including $1,400 stimulus checks and expanded child tax credits, then later touted its benefits for her district. Dallas officials used ARP funds for 275 new law enforcement positions she could have supported.
  • Objection to Counting Pennsylvania's Electoral Votes
    why contradicted?
    [against_constituent] Only House member to split her vote — objecting to Pennsylvania's electors but not Arizona's — joining 138 Republicans in attempting to overturn the certified 2020 election results, hours after the Capitol riot. Her district had voted for Biden.

04

Documented contradictions 4

Stated-position-vs-revealed-conduct contradictions analysed against the official's commitments, scored by strength of the contradiction.

  • reversal SCORE 90
    Van Duyne supported Ukraine lend-lease in 2022 but subsequently voted against every major Ukraine aid package through 2024, signed a letter opposing further funding, and received an 'F' grade from Republicans for Ukraine — reversing from initial support to consistent opposition.
  • statement_vs_disclosure SCORE 90
    Van Duyne opposed the American Rescue Plan as wasteful spending, then took credit on social media for its benefits, telling constituents 'help is on the way to North Texas' — a pattern President Biden called out by name in a May 2021 speech.
  • statement_vs_disclosure SCORE 90
    Van Duyne voted against the bipartisan infrastructure law, then one year later touted DFW Airport receiving grants from the same law she opposed, calling herself 'thrilled' about the funding while conspicuously omitting mention of her vote against it.
  • reversal SCORE 60
    Van Duyne voted against the bipartisan Fiscal Responsibility Act in 2023 for insufficient spending cuts, yet voted in 2025 for Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which the CBO projected would add $3.3 trillion to the deficit — far more than the FRA she rejected.

What this scorecard does and doesn't claim

Every figure above is a count of records the platform already holds, each click-through-able to its source. The scorecard adds no inference, no forecast, and no narrative — it aggregates what is documented.

A populated scorecard is not a finding of corruption. It documents the volume of stated-vs-revealed tension, donor-adjacent silence, and broken commitments on the public record for this official. Silence in particular is the absence of an expected statement; it can have innocent explanations and is never presented as proof. Read each item's source before drawing conclusions.
