Folks, House Republicans are currently celebrating electing a new Speaker of the House.
But let’s be clear: newly elected Speaker Mike Johnson is no moderate. He is simply Jim Jordan in a sports coat — which is exactly why my opponent, Monica De La Cruz, voted for him.
We need leaders in Congress who will stand up to the alt-right, MAGA extremism that dominates the Republican party. Will you rush a donation so I can get to Congress and be the leader South Texas needs?

He may be a new face to many, but Speaker Johnson espouses the same type of extremism that Monica De La Cruz does. Rather than electing a Speaker who will advance legislation that lowers costs and makes life easier for working families, Monica chose to elect an anti-abortion extremist and top election denier to lead her conference.
Here’s what Speaker Johnson’s record looks like:
1. Johnson has championed a total abortion ban with no exceptions for rape, incest, or life of the woman and voted for legislation that would punish doctors for providing reproductive care to patients.
2. As a former Chair of the Republican Study Committee, Johnson is on the record for slashing Social Security and Medicare, programs that seniors have paid into and rely on.
3. Johnson was instrumental in the Stop the Steal effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election, with the New York Times referring to him as “the most important architect of the Electoral College objections.”
These are all stances that Monica has been gung-ho for since she ran for this seat on the promise to “finish what Trump started.” What these stances are NOT is popular with regular South Texans like you and me.
Monica De La Cruz MUST GO. I’m ready to be the real leader TX-15 needs in order to make the American Dream real again for the families of our district — unlike Monica, who has only ever prioritized her extremist agenda since being in office. Will you rush a donation now to help me get to Washington?
Thank you for being in this fight with me,
Michelle Vallejo
