Monica De La Cruz Votes to Rip Away Health Care Access and Take Food Off of Texans’ Tables

De La Cruz’s vote takes away health care coverage and food assistance from working parents, kids, seniors, and people with disabilities in Texas

Monica De La Cruz and House Republicans just passed a far-right budget resolution that will rip away health care coverage and affordable food for millions of American families, all so they can fund massive tax breaks for their billionaire backers and wealthy corporations.

In TX-15 alone, this dangerous vote risks health care coverage for 27,000 people and food assistance for more than 57,000 households.

Despite the loud outcry of Americans across the country warning House Republicans like De La Cruz to vote against decimating Medicaid and threatening their livelihoods, De La Cruz still voted to pass this destructive budget scam, once again choosing her D.C. party bosses and billionaires over Texans.

The DCCC will hold De La Cruz accountable for her support of this dangerous agenda to rip away health care and food access from Texas families. 

DCCC Spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:
“Monica De La Cruz just sealed her political fate by inflicting this massive pain on Texas families, and no amount of her desperate lies or meaningless letters will save her from the political fallout of this vote.”
