About

Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz is the first Latina and the first Republican to represent Texas’ 15th district. In her first term, she has proven 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.

Monica 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, and the National Border Patrol Council.

As a strong supporter of local agriculture, Monica 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.
