On November 20, Rep. De La Cruz announced that her "DC legislative team met with UT San Antonio policy experts to discuss Texas’ priorities for the 119th Congress." She emphasized the importance of collaboration as Texas continues to expand its influence in sectors such as AI, data security, and defense. The full post can be accessed here.

Later that day, she expressed support for a directive from Governor Abbott regarding water resources: "I applaud @GovAbbott's directive to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to accept water from the San Juan River." She highlighted the necessity for secure water deliveries to South Texas communities while stressing that this new resource should not offset existing allocations. Her statement is available here.

In a separate tweet posted on November 20, De La Cruz provided information about upcoming staff mobile office hours scheduled for Live Oak County on November 21st. Constituents needing assistance with federal agencies could visit George West Library from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., or Three Rivers Library from 2 to 3 p.m. Details are outlined here.
