Monica De La Cruz not only helped put South TX on the map for Republicans, she also made history in a district that most said was unwinnable.
Texas Insider Report WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Hidalgo County GOP would like to acknowledge and congratulate Monica De La Cruz for being sworn in as our Congresswoman for the 15th Congressional District of Texas. De La Cruz was joined by over 100 South Texans in Washington, D.C. for her swearing-in after the Republican Speaker of the House was finally chosen. Congresswoman De La Cruz is the first Latina, and first Republican to represent the 15th Congressional District of Texas in the United States House of Representatives.
In Congress, De La Cruz has promised to fight to keep the American Dream alive for the next generation of Texans.
For over 20 years, De La Cruz led several successful small businesses in her community, including an insurance agency where she became the first new female agent in the Rio Grande Valley to earn the prestigious "President’s Club Award," an honor bestowed upon the top 50 Agents in the country.
De La Cruz began her journey to elective office as a concerned mother who then became a Precinct Chair for the Hidalgo GOP. After attending, supporting, and volunteering for many grassroots events, it was her time to fight for the people of District 15, the "fajita" district.
Monica De La Cruz not only helped put South Texas on the map for Republicans, she also made history in a district that most said was unwinnable.
“South Texas has been controlled by one party since before inception,” says Adrienne Pena-Garza (right,) Hidalgo GOP Chairwoman.
“This historic, groundbreaking moment will be talked about for generations to come. CD 15 has a voice and a real opportunity to bring strong, consistent and positive change to the region. Humbled to play a part of this movement in South Texas!”
De La Cruz is new & strong force in the movement that never took no for an answer and has become a beacon of hope for the RGV to preserve and protect our South Texas values of God, family and Country.
