The promise was to back a Balanced Budget Amendment, not necessarily secure ratification or final enactment. In her House term, De La Cruz cast a recorded Yea vote on H.J.Res.139, a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced federal budget. Although the measure failed, her vote is direct federal legislative support for the promised position.
