Certainly, we can do more by supporting the further development of more sources of low or no emission baseload power. I am particularly interested in next generation nuclear reactors...
Support further development of low- or no-emission baseload power, including next-generation nuclear reactors.

It unleashes American energy production
Evidence
The page says Rep. Van Duyne is working to expand domestic energy production through a "strong all-of-the-above approach" and highlights support for LNG, oil and gas, and anti-regulatory energy measures; it does not name nuclear power or advanced reactors on the page content crawled on 2026-05-19.
Van Duyne said she voted for the FY2024 NDAA and that it included "innovative new technologies" for future battlefields, including "mobile micronuclear reactors" and efforts to expand U.S. nuclear forces.
The official June and May 2026 release list covers the Creator Caucus, the CREATOR Act, healthcare coverage, fraud, and H-1B investigations; it does not show any nuclear- or baseload-power-specific announcement in the lookback window.
The official votes page still surfaces vote entries only through March 11, 2025, and the visible items are energy deregulation/disapproval votes rather than any nuclear-development measure.
Assessments
As a federal representative, Van Duyne can earn credit here by backing legislation rather than single-handedly delivering an energy buildout. The strongest evidence provided is her December 2023 support for the FY2024 NDAA, which she said included mobile micronuclear reactor provisions; that is a concrete example of support for advanced nuclear development. But the record in this payload does not show that she sponsored, led, or materially advanced a broader low- or no-emission baseload power agenda, and recent official activity does not show a nuclear-specific delivery action. That supports limited credit for supportive action, but not full delivery of the promise.
Van Duyne promised to support further development of low- or no-emission baseload power, including next-generation nuclear reactors. In federal House context, voting for enacted legislation that included nuclear development provisions is sufficient candidate-level support. The FY2024 NDAA passed during her House tenure and her own statement specifically credited it with mobile micronuclear reactors and related nuclear capabilities. That is a concrete same-term action aligned with the promise, even if her broader energy messaging is more focused on fossil fuels and deregulation.
