The following day, she commented on ongoing federal budget negotiations and their impact on food assistance programs: “While Democrats play shutdown games, my constituents are worried about losing food stamps.

Later that day, De La Cruz addressed the status of government funding negotiations: “It’s Shutdown Day 21. House Republicans passed a clean CR over a month ago, but Senate Democrats won’t do their jobs. While we’re ready to get back to work, they’re playing politics.” (October 21).
De La Cruz has served as the representative for Texas’ 15th district since 2023 after replacing Vicente Gonzalez. She won her seat in the general elections of both 2022 and 2024 against Michelle Vallejo, securing victory with 53.3% of the vote in 2022 and increasing her margin to 57.1% in 2024.
