The House passed H.R. 3684, the INVEST in America Act, by 221-201. The roll call shows Van Duyne voted Nay.

The infrastructure bill actually passed the House, but Van Duyne opposed it rather than helping deliver it.

Rep. Van Duyne offered H.Amdt.72 to H.R.3684, and the amendment was agreed to by the Yeas and Nays: 230-178 (Roll no. 204).

She advanced concrete legislative action on the infrastructure bill, but this was an amendment, not fulfillment of the broader promise to pass the bill.

H.R.3684 became Public Law No. 117-58 on 11/15/2021 and provides new funding for roads, bridges, major projects, water infrastructure, and other infrastructure programs.

The infrastructure bill became law in the same Congress, showing the promise was not blocked by the absence of a bill but was not carried by Van Duyne.

The FY2026 Appropriations page lists requests for road, bridge, drainage, water transmission line, and transit projects in TX-24, including the Keller shared water line, Webster Street drainage work, and the Little Bear Creek bridge crossing.

Current-term project requests show continued infrastructure activity, but they are local appropriations asks rather than passage of the promised infrastructure bill.

Congress.gov shows H.R. 5670, the Protecting America's Roads Act, was introduced by Rep. Van Duyne on 2025-09-30 and, after the latest action on 2025-12-01, remained referred to the Subcommittee on Highways and Transit with no passage.

Van Duyne made a concrete later-term roads-related legislative push, but the bill stalled at introduction and never became the promised infrastructure law.

Assessments

never same_term A for effort

Van Duyne publicly promised to pass an infrastructure bill for roads, bridges, and flood control, but during her term she opposed the main House infrastructure bill (voted Nay on H.R. 3684) and did not secure passage of the promised outcome herself. She did offer an amendment and later introduced a roads-related bill, which shows some effort, but the core promise was never delivered by her.

never same_term A for effort

Van Duyne promised to pass an infrastructure bill for roads, bridges, and flood control. H.R. 3684 became Public Law 117-58 in her first House term and covered roads, bridges, water infrastructure, and resilience, but Clerk roll calls show she voted Nay on House passage and on final concurrence. Her adopted H.Amdt.72 and later H.R. 5670 show infrastructure-related legislative effort, but they did not deliver the promised bill; H.R. 5670 remains only introduced/referred.

The promised outcome was to pass an infrastructure bill for roads, bridges, and flood control. H.R. 3684, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, passed and became law during Van Duyne's first term, but she voted against the House passage of the bill. She did make a concrete legislative effort by offering an amendment to H.R. 3684 that was adopted, but that does not fulfill the broader promise to pass the infrastructure bill, especially given her final opposition to the bill itself. Under the rule for serious attempts that fail to deliver the promised outcome, this is 'never' with effort_badge=true.
