Bio

Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz the first Hispanic Republican woman to represent the Great State of Texas in Congress. In her first term, she proved to be a highly effective national leader, passing six key pieces of legislation, including a critical measure targeting fentanyl trafficking-the first bill from her community to be signed into law in nearly 20 years.

De La Cruz is a relentless advocate for border security, the preservation of the American Dream, and the protection of seniors' benefits. Her work on vital issues has earned recognition from civic groups, law enforcement, the National Border Patrol Council, and Texas Farm Bureau.

As a strong supporter of local agriculture, De La Cruz created the South Texas Water Working Group to tackle the region's water challenges and has taken bold steps to hold the Mexican government accountable for its water debt. Hailed as a "freshman success" by local newspapers, her leadership and commitment to delivering results reflect her dedication to serving the Lone Star State and its people.
