The House Democratic campaign arm has drawn a target on Rep. Monica De La Cruz, the first Republican ever to represent her South Texas district. SouthTexas Texas 2024Elections SanAntonio SATX SanAntonioTX
WASHINGTON — Democrats want South Texas back.
The loss of the 15th district was a bitter pill for Democrats to swallow. It was the first time in the district’s history a Republican won the seat and lent ballast to Republican claims that their message resonated with the culturally conservative Hispanic voters of the region. “De La Cruz is a MAGA extremist who is less concerned with the needs of the community she represents and more committed to advancing an extreme Republican agenda filled with partisan investigations, GOP messaging bills, and rolling back reproductive freedoms nationwide,” said DCCC spokesperson Tommy Garcia. “The DCCC will work to ensure Texas voters have a clear choice in 2024.”
“After just three months in office, Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz has proven herself to be a strong leader who is already delivering results for her community. Meanwhile, Democrats are delivering extreme soft-on-crime policies, an inflated economy and a porous southern border, and in 2024, TX-15 and TX-34 will reject radical Democrat policies,” NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar said in a statement.
