Grapevine-area voters will choose between Rep. Beth Van Duyne and challenger Kevin Burge for U.S. House District 24 on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

The district spans portions of Tarrant and Dallas counties, covering Grapevine, Colleyville, Southlake, Westlake, Keller, Hurst, Bedford, Euless, North Richland Hills, Richardson, Coppell and Roanoke, among other communities.

The winner will serve a two-year term starting in January 2027. Voter registration closes Monday, Oct. 5, and early voting runs Monday, Oct. 19, through Oct. 30.

The incumbent

Van Duyne, a Republican and former Irving mayor, has held the seat since January 2021. This is her third reelection campaign.

She ran unopposed in the Tuesday, March 3, Republican primary, collecting 71,506 votes, according to New York Times results.

Van Duyne won her 2024 race by more than 20 points, capturing over 60% of the vote, the Dallas Express reported. Republicans have held District 24 since 2005, according to KERA News.

As of Feb. 11, Van Duyne had raised more than $1.78 million for her campaign, KERA News reported. A separate FEC disclosure filed Jan. 20 showed $2.6 million in cash on hand at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025. Updated general election fundraising figures were not available.

Van Duyne did not respond to a Community Impact questionnaire published Tuesday, Sept. 8, that asked both candidates about their priorities and plans for the district.

On her official congressional X account on Wednesday, Sept. 9, Van Duyne cited economic results under the Trump administration, saying more than 1 million private-sector jobs had been created and the federal workforce was "the leanest it's been since 1966."

The challenger

Burge, 40, is a Democrat, Marine Corps veteran and North Richland Hills native. He served three combat tours overseas and later worked as a civilian at the Defense Intelligence Agency. He served as a senior technical adviser for President Joe Biden's Situation Room in the White House, according to the Fort Worth Report.

He works as a cybersecurity manager at Caterpillar and holds a master's degree in sustainable development from North Carolina State University.

Burge won the Tuesday, May 26, Democratic primary runoff over TJ Ware with 78.1% of the vote, according to Community Impact.

In the Community Impact questionnaire, Burge identified affordability as the district's biggest challenge, citing healthcare, childcare, utility costs and public education access. He said he would roll back tariffs, expand technical skills training and push for public transit investment.

His stated priorities include restoring congressional authority over tariffs, tax relief for households earning under $400,000, restoring Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies and advancing optional universal healthcare decoupled from employment.

"I took an oath to defend the Constitution and have a heart to serve my community," Burge wrote in the questionnaire. "Both are needed in Congress today."

In a Feb. 16 candidate survey for the Fort Worth Report, Burge said Van Duyne had never held a town hall and that he wanted "people's voices to be heard."

Fundraising gap

No Democratic candidate in the District 24 race had raised more than $200,000 as of Feb. 11, compared with Van Duyne's $1.78 million, according to KERA News.

Early voting begins Monday, Oct. 19.
