On April 7, 2025, Rep. De La Cruz tweeted: "My legislative team met with constituents from @NALC_National to discuss legislative priorities.

Continuing her conversations with key stakeholders, Rep. De La Cruz shared on April 8, 2025 that her team had a meeting focused on the future of dental care.

Additionally, on the same day, De La Cruz addressed the importance of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). She expressed her commitment in a tweet: "SNAP is an essential program for the people in my district. In order to effectively serve and benefit those who need it most, we have to prioritize eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse within the system. Feeding our communities is not a partisan issue; it is an American issue."
