Keeping our neighborhoods safe and ensuring our officers and their families are supported is a top priority for me in Congress. From securing critical funding for local police departments to backing legislation that enhances officer safety and wellness, I will continue working to provide the resources our law enforcement officers need to protect our families and uphold the rule of law.”
The Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Association Board praised De La Cruz’s dedication to public safety and law enforcement, highlighting her strong leadership in Congress.
“We are proud to endorse Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz for her strong leadership and continued support of law enforcement,” said the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Association Board. “In Washington, she has secured vital resources for police departments across her district, championed bipartisan legislation that honors fallen officers, strengthens community outreach, and ensures the safety and well-being of law enforcement officers. Her commitment to keeping our communities safe and standing with our deputies and their families makes her the right choice for South Texas.”
Throughout her time in Congress, Congresswoman De La Cruz has been a vocal advocate for law enforcement, working across the aisle to ensure law enforcement agencies have essential resources to protect the people of South Texas. She has helped secure critical funding for local law enforcement initiatives in several South Texas communities.
