On February 9, De La Cruz reflected on her participation in a national event: “I am so grateful to have joined colleagues at the National Prayer Breakfast last week to pray and reflect on how we can better serve our communities through faith and unity. It was a powerful reminder that leadership begins with listening and lifting one another up. https://t.co/pNpwEodC25”.

Born in Brownsville, Texas in 1974, De La Cruz resides in McAllen and holds a degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio.
