Monica De La Cruz

Texas’s 15th (TX - 15)

Updated: September 8, 2024

Overview

Candidate CPP:

Harlingen: $222

Monica De La Cruz is an extremist who puts partisan politics first and our seniors and working families last. De La Cruz’s policies would cut access to vital programs for our seniors like Medicare and Social Security. Michelle Vallejo was born and raised in South Texas and is a small business owner who will put our abuelos and working families first while securing our border.

Summary

Voters need to see ads on broadcast and cable in the Harlingen media market that Monica De La Cruz broke her promises by: 

  • Putting Social Security and Medicare at risk, making health care more expensive, and supporting a budget that raises the retirement age. Taking away what South Texans have worked hard for their entire lives.
  • Making life more expensive for South Texas families. She opposed the bill lowering prescription drug costs for seniors and capping the cost of insulin at $35/month and  voted to raise the cost of household necessities like energy and groceries.

Women, registered Independents, and voters under the age of 50 districtwide need to see digital ads on streaming and digital platforms that: 

  • Monica De La Cruz goes too far restricting access to abortion. She would let politicians make decisions about women’s healthcare instead of women and their doctors, supports Texas’ cruel abortion ban with no exceptions even in cases of rape, incest, or if the woman’s health is at risk, and would push for a national abortion ban. 

Voters in Hidalgo County (especially Latinos, voters that lean independent, women and college-educated voters) and voters in Guadalupe County (especially Democrats who are less likely to turn out and independents) need to hear at their doors that: 

  • Michelle Vallejo is a small business owner who will work with Republicans and Democrats to bring down costs for South Texas families and secure the border by adding thousands of new border patrol agents and taking on the drug cartels and human trafficking.
  • Monica De La Cruz broke her promise to our seniors, putting Social Security and Medicare at risk, making health care more expensive, and supporting a budget that raises the retirement age. Taking away what South Texans have worked hard for their entire lives.
  • Monica De La Cruz will make life more expensive for South Texas families. She voted against lowering prescription drug costs for seniors and capping the cost of insulin at $35/month, and against lowering the cost of household necessities like energy and groceries.
