Her campaign says that in her first term she secured passage of five key pieces of legislation, including a bill targeting fentanyl trafficking that was signed into law.

“securing the passage of five key pieces of legislation, including the first bill in nearly 20 years from her community to be signed into law, targeting fentanyl trafficking”

What the record shows ·

Five measures she sponsored passed the House in the 118th Congress: H.R. 1076 (402 to 2, May 22, 2023), H.Res. 683 on Mexico's water deliveries (voice vote, November 28, 2023), H.Res. 1065 on immigration policy (226 to 193, March 12, 2024), the HUD Transparency Act (voice vote, July 22, 2024) and the Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act (voice vote, December 4, 2024). H.R. 1076 was signed on September 13, 2024 as Public Law 118-79. It orders the Comptroller General to study how the trafficking of synthetic drugs, including fentanyl, is financed.

Limit: Passage here means the House. Only H.R. 1076 became law that term, and two of the five are House resolutions, which carry no force of law. The fentanyl law orders a study rather than new enforcement. Before hers, the last bill by a 15th District member to become law was signed in July 2005.

Her campaign says five bills she introduced became law as parts of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.

“Five bills that Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz introduced became law as provisions of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act”

What the record shows ·

The act became Public Law 119-101 on July 11, 2026, without the President's signature; she voted Yea on its final House vote (358 to 32, June 23). Five of its sections carry bills she is listed on. She sponsored three: the Housing Affordability Act (section 211), the VA Home Loan Awareness Act (section 601, under the heading Military Service Question) and the HUD-USDA-VA Interagency Coordination Act (section 801). She is an original cosponsor of the other two: the Housing Supply Expansion Act (section 301) and the Housing Unhoused Disabled Veterans Act (section 602).

Limit: Two of the five are other members' bills that she cosponsored from the day they were introduced, which this site counts as hers. The campaign post names four; her House office's release names the fifth. The law was written by many hands, and these sections are a small part of it.

Her House office lists the SPEAK Act and the Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act among new laws she led in 2026.

“SPEAK Act: Establishes language communication best practices for healthcare providers and patients”

What the record shows ·

Both are law. Her SPEAK Act (H.R. 2092) never moved past committee under its own number, but its text was enacted word for word as section 6213 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, signed February 3, 2026 as Public Law 119-75; she voted for that act twice. It orders HHS guidance on interpreters and telehealth for patients with limited English. Her Disabled Veterans Housing Support Act (H.R. 224) passed both chambers and was signed on January 20, 2026 as Public Law 119-70.

Limit: The SPEAK Act became law as one section of a large spending act, so her votes on it were votes on the whole act. The section orders guidance; it does not require providers to follow it.

“Reinstate the Remain in Mexico policy”

What the record shows ·

She voted Yea on H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, which passed the House 219 to 213 on May 11, 2023. Its text orders border wall construction to resume, lets the Homeland Security Secretary return migrants arriving by land to Mexico while their cases proceed, and makes E-Verify mandatory for employers. The Senate placed it on its calendar and never voted on it. She also sponsored H.Res. 1065, denouncing the Biden administration's immigration policies, which the House adopted 226 to 193 on March 12, 2024. The 2025 reconciliation act, which she voted for twice and which became Public Law 119-21, pays for border wall construction ($46.55 billion, section 90001), more Border Patrol agents (section 90002) and hiring immigration judges (section 100054).

Limit: H.R. 2 did not become law, but the wall, Border Patrol and immigration-judge money in the 2025 act did. The same act caps the number of immigration judges at 800 from November 2028. Her votes on that act were votes on the whole act. A resolution states a view and changes no policy.

It became Public Law 119-21 on July 4, 2025. The law extends the lower individual tax rates first enacted in 2017 (section 70101) and the deduction for qualified business income used by many small businesses (section 70105).

“Stop the deficit spending that is driving rising inflation”

What the record shows ·

She voted Yea on the Limit, Save, Grow Act, which passed the House 217 to 215 on April 26, 2023. It would have capped yearly discretionary spending, taken back unspent COVID-19 money and suspended the debt limit; the Senate never passed it. She voted Aye on the Fiscal Responsibility Act, which passed 314 to 117 on May 31, 2023 and became Public Law 118-5. It set spending limits for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 and suspended the debt limit until January 1, 2025. She voted Yea on the Rescissions Act of 2025 when it passed the House 214 to 212 on June 12, 2025. It became Public Law 119-28 on July 24, 2025 and cancels money already provided for foreign aid and public broadcasting.

Limit: The 2023 bill did not become law, and both 2023 measures also let the government borrow more. She also voted for the 2025 reconciliation act, Public Law 119-21, which raised the debt limit by $5 trillion.

Nine projects list her as the only requester in the explanatory statements for three fiscal 2026 spending laws, and they add up to $21,770,000: a public safety building and court in Alamo ($2,450,000), a public safety facility in Live Oak County ($3,250,000), a water well in Premont ($1,000,000), a water treatment plant in Edinburg ($750,000), a groundwater well in McAllen ($1,000,000), the BOLT project at the Pharr International Bridge ($3,520,000), a community center in Seguin ($2,300,000), the Military Parkway expansion in Mission ($2,000,000) and Hidalgo County's West Main Drain ($5,500,000). The laws are Public Laws 119-37, 119-74 and 119-75, signed between November 12, 2025 and February 3, 2026.

“Co-sponsored legislation preventing cuts to seniors’ benefits”

What the record shows ·

She cosponsored H.R. 875, the Protecting Social Security and Medicare Act, from June 30, 2023. It would let the Treasury keep paying Social Security and Medicare benefits in full and on time if the debt limit is reached; it never got a vote. She also cosponsored the Social Security Fairness Act and voted Yea when it passed the House on November 12, 2024. It became Public Law 118-273 on January 5, 2025 and ended two rules that reduced some public-service retirees' benefits.

Limit: The claim does not name a bill; these are the two cosponsorships in her record that fit it. H.R. 875 deals with missed payments in a debt-limit standoff, not benefit levels; the Social Security Fairness Act raised benefits rather than preventing a cut.

“leading the charge to pressure the Mexican government to meet its water debt”

What the record shows ·

She has sponsored seven measures pressing Mexico on its treaty water deliveries. H.Res. 683, urging diplomacy to get Mexico to deliver, was adopted by the House by voice vote on November 28, 2023. The other six went no further than committee: H.R. 7468 and the Water Delivery Transparency Act in 2024, and since 2025 H.Res. 71, H.Res. 273 (a reintroduction of H.Res. 683), the Ensuring Predictable and Reliable Water Deliveries Act, and the WATER for Farmers Act, which would raise tariffs on Mexican goods while deliveries fall short. She also sponsored three bills for farmers hurt by the shortfalls; one, H.R. 10113, asked for a $280 million USDA grant to Texas. The American Relief Act, 2025, which she voted for on December 20, 2024 (Public Law 118-158), lets USDA pay block grants that compensate those farmers. On March 19, 2025, USDA announced a $280 million grant agreement with the Texas Department of Agriculture for Rio Grande Valley farmers, with her at the announcement.

Limit: Of her seven treaty measures, only a non-binding resolution passed the House. The aid law is a general USDA authority, not her bill's wording, and USDA's notice does not name the law behind the grant; the signed agreement was not read. Whether her work moved Mexico's deliveries is not something these records show.

“Support oil and natural gas jobs”

What the record shows ·

She cosponsored the Lower Energy Costs Act and voted Yea when it passed the House 225 to 204 on March 30, 2023. She voted Yea on the Protecting American Energy Production Act, which would bar a president from banning fracking without Congress, when it passed 226 to 188 on February 7, 2025. Neither became law. In 2025 she voted for two resolutions that struck energy rules and became law: one on EPA's waste emissions charge for oil and gas systems (H.J.Res. 35, Public Law 119-2) and one on Energy Department efficiency standards for commercial refrigerators (H.J.Res. 75, Public Law 119-9). The 2025 reconciliation act she voted for twice, Public Law 119-21, requires onshore and offshore oil and gas lease sales (sections 50101 and 50102).

Limit: Two of these bills did not become law; the two rule repeals and the leasing sections did. Her votes on the reconciliation act were votes on the whole act. A roll call does not show what a law does to energy prices or jobs.

“Oppose tariffs that hinder American farmers from reaching new customers”

What the record shows ·

On February 11, 2026 she voted Nay on H.J.Res. 72, which would end the national emergency behind the tariffs on Canadian goods ordered in Executive Order 14193. It passed the House 219 to 211 and was referred to the Senate Finance Committee. On May 29, 2026 she introduced the WATER for Farmers Act, which would have the Trade Representative raise duties on Mexican imports while Mexico falls short on treaty water, and pay the money to South Texas farmers.

Why there is no assessment here

The plank does not say which tariffs it means. Her vote and her bill concern tariffs the United States imposes; whether they keep farmers from customers depends on what other countries do in return, and no record here measures that.

Limit: The issue page is undated and may predate these tariffs. One vote and one bill that has not moved; the owner decides whether this card runs.
