House Speaker Mike Johnson Schedules Strategic Visit to McAllen, Texas

In an announcement that marks a significant moment for Texas politics, Freshman U.S. Representative Monica De La Cruz has unveiled plans for House Speaker Mike Johnson’s upcoming visit to McAllen, Texas. The visit, poised to tackle pressing border issues and bolster De La Cruz’s Republican reelection campaign, signals strategic engagement from top political leaders with frontline border communities and electoral dynamics.
