Rep. Monica De La Cruz, U.S. Congresswoman representing Texas’ 15th district, addressed several community issues and legislative initiatives in a series of posts on September 30, 2025.

In her first post, De La Cruz highlighted the ongoing challenges Texans face regarding healthcare access, emphasizing the role of local centers. On September 30, she wrote, “Limited access to health care is a challenge facing many Texans. Community health centers aim to bridge that gap by providing affordable, accessible health care in our communities. Thank you, @TexasCHCs, for stopping by and sharing the impact your centers are making in our”.

Later that day, De La Cruz encouraged student participation in technology initiatives. At 14:00 UTC, she posted, “Want to put your coding skills to the test? Middle and High Schoolers can create and submit an original app for the chance to earn Congressional Recognition in the U.S. Capitol! Submissions close October 30th.

Addressing border security and government funding, De La Cruz stated at 16:06 UTC, “Legislation Lowdown

Border Patrol Agents in South Texas will continue to show up for work and protect our communities. My bill will make sure they’re still getting their paychecks even if the Democrats shut the government down.”

De La Cruz has served in Congress since 2023 after replacing Vicente Gonzalez. She secured her seat by defeating Michelle Vallejo in both the 2022 and 2024 general elections, with victories of 53.3% and 57.1% of the vote, respectively.
