Rep. Monica De La Cruz, who represents Texas’ 15th district in the U.S. Congress, shared updates on her recent activities and priorities through a series of posts on July 17 and 18, 2025.
On July 17, De La Cruz expressed appreciation for community banks and reiterated her commitment to economic growth in South Texas. She wrote, “Thank you, @myibat, for stopping by the office to share the role community banks play in supporting our communities. I will continue to advocate for job creation and economic growth for South Texas.”
Later that day, she announced an outreach initiative aimed at assisting constituents with federal agency issues. In her post dated July 17, she stated, “My team will host staff mobile office hours in Karnes County tomorrow, Friday, July 18th. If you need help with a federal agency, please visit my team at this event or call us at (956) 800-6069 in McAllen or (830) 463-0800 in Seguin. You can also visit us at https://t.co/LFbS9TvYPG”
In another update posted just after midnight on July 18 following a Financial Services Committee meeting, De La Cruz addressed affordable housing challenges: “Yesterday at @FinancialCmte, I emphasized the need for modern, streamlined, commonsense solutions to HUD’s affordable housing programs to address our country’s housing shortage, especially in rural communities. Families deserve access to affordable, safe, and decent housing.”
De La Cruz has represented Texas’s 15th District since replacing Vicente Gonzalez in Congress in 2023. Born in Brownsville and currently residing in McAllen at age 48, she holds a degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio.
