Assessments
De La Cruz promised to eliminate regulations on farmers and ranchers that inhibit economic prosperity. The cited record shows agriculture-related bills she introduced, but they addressed EQIP conservation payments, a USDA report on Texas producers' water-related losses, and feral swine control. None eliminated or materially rolled back agricultural regulations, and the bills cited were introduced/referred rather than enacted. Because she made serious agriculture-related legislative attempts but did not deliver the promised deregulatory outcome, the promise is best rated as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
The promise was to eliminate regulations on farmers and ranchers that inhibit economic prosperity. The evidence shows De La Cruz introduced several agriculture-related bills, but they addressed EQIP assistance, reports on water-related economic losses, and feral swine control rather than eliminating agricultural regulations. None of the cited bills became law or delivered the promised deregulatory outcome.
