Proximo Launches Radio Ad Urging Texas Families to Tell Rep. Monica De La Cruz to Stop Costly Tariffs
“School Shopping” highlights the rising costs facing Texas families and urges Rep. Monica De La Cruz to support legislation to end costly tariffs
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Proximo, a Latino-led 501(c)(4) nonprofit dedicated to empowering the Latino community with the knowledge and tools to shape what’s next for our democracy, today announced the launch of a new radio advertising campaign in both English and Spanish in McAllen and Corpus Christi highlighting the rising costs facing Texas families and calling on Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz to take action to lower costs.
The 60-second radio ad, “School Shopping,” focuses on the financial pressure Texas families are facing as they prepare for the new school year, with rising costs for gas, groceries, clothing, utilities, and health insurance.
The ad highlights De La Cruz’s vote on President Trump’s tax bill and her support for Trump’s tariffs that the ad argues are increasing costs for Texas families and putting farming jobs at risk.
The ad urges De La Cruz to support H.R. 8228, legislation that would stop the costly tariffs, and calls on her to stand up for Texas families.
