Starting in mid-July, voters in the Corpus Christi and Harlingen DMA’s will be reintroduced to Rep. De La Cruz, being reminded that she is one of us- a Valley Mom, a fighter who is getting things done. Voters will see modern day farmers, working the fields like Monica’s Abuelo did, then be reminded that Monica put herself through college by working at a dry cleaner, before opening a small business while raising her family. Monica’s story is your story- the American Dream that she is fighting for every day.
Monica De La Cruz grew up in the Rio Grande Valley in the border town of Brownsville, TX. Monica and her brother were raised by a single Mom, Norma Alicia. She had a simple life that was built around faith, hard work and family. Her mother raised her with a strong love of country as her grandfather served in the Navy in WWII.
Monica put herself through college while working and graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio with a BBA in Marketing. Monica owns three successful small businesses and she is the examples of the American Dream.
