Rep. Monica De La Cruz, representing Texas' 15th district in the U.S. Congress since 2023, recently shared updates on her legislative activities and constituent services via social media. The congresswoman highlighted efforts to address issues affecting South Texas farmers and ranchers, passed legislation supporting disabled veterans, and announced upcoming staff mobile office hours.

On February 10, 2025, Rep. De La Cruz emphasized her participation with the House Appropriations Committee Republicans to advocate for "hardworking farmers and ranchers of South Texas." She cited Mexico's non-compliance with the 1944 Water Treaty as a direct cause of their struggles. For more information, she invited followers to "tune in" to watch her discussion.

Later that day, she announced the successful passage of her bipartisan Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act. This legislation ensures that veterans will not face penalties under HUD's income guidelines due to their VA disability compensation. Rep. De La Cruz expressed that it is essential "to ensure our heroes can always access the support they need." Further details can be found in her post here.
