South Texas shifted more dramatically toward Trump than any other region in the United States in the 2020 election. The counties comprising the Rio GrI nearly made history, but 6,588 votes got in the way. Now, I'm asking for your help to make it to the top of the Hill this time around
Fellow patriot,
Not too long ago, Hispanics were expected and assumed to be Democrats by anyone with a passive interest in political demography. In fact, until recently, Hispanics were about as Democrat as suburbanites were Republican.
I’m helping to change that narrative. I’m not a “coconut” – – brown on the outside, white on the inside – as some have called me. And I’m certainly not a “self-hating Hispanic,” as others have labeled me. My name is Monica De La Cruz, a proud Hispanic Republican, and I’m running for Congress in Texas’ 15th Congressional District to flip a seat RED which has never been held by a Republican in its HISTORY.
This seat could not be more competitive. The race in Texas 15 is neck and neck right now – so close that even President Trump himself recently endorsed my campaign!
Our first big test of the cycle is next week when I'll face off against 8 opponents in the Republican primary – right now we're focused on reaching as many voters as possible and could use all of the help we can get ahead of Tuesday's election. Might you consider helping with a gift to my campaign today?
In addition to having President Trump's support, I’ve been endorsed by Sen. Ted Cruz, Rep. Dan Crenshaw, and Texas Right to Life, among others.
As you may have heard, Republicans only need 5 seats to flip the House Republican, and to put it plainly, without picking up this seat in South Texas, we will come up short and Democrats will retain their majority.
In 2020, Republicans had the “Year of the Republican Woman” when the number of Republican women in the House more than doubled. But that is not good enough. We need more! We need more brown Republican women of color.
Culturally, Hispanics are conservative: most of us are pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment God-fearing folks. For me and my family, voting Democrat is simply not an option when AOC is now the standard bearer of the party. But, as the saying goes in Hispanic communities here in South Texas, “being Democrat, it’s just what you do.”
But Democrats have veered so far to the left, the Party of my parents’ generation is just unrecognizable.
Consider that in 2020, Joe Biden performed 24% worse in the Rio Grande Valley than Hillary Clinton did four years earlier. South Texas is ripe for the taking, but I can’t do it alone. I cannot self-fund, and that’s why I’m asking for you to invest in my campaign today.
