Bobby Pulido wins Latin Grammy days after winning House race
Pulido won best Tejano album for the third time and briefly left new-member orientation to accept the honor.
- On Thursday, Representative-elect Bobby Pulido won the Latin Grammy for best Tejano album in Las Vegas, marking his third career victory in the category honoring Latino and Spanish-language music.
- Pulido recently flipped a southern Texas House district after Republicans redrew the map to favor the GOP, and he leaned into his Tejano roots during the campaign by performing at local events.
- Delivering his acceptance speech in Spanish, Pulido announced his retirement from music, saying "Music is something really beautiful" and expressing pride in representing Tejano culture before transitioning to public service.
- To attend the ceremony, Pulido missed the official freshman class photograph at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday morning, though he joins the largest incoming House class since 1992.
- Incoming lawmakers are currently in Washington for orientation to learn legislative dynamics and connect with the press corps, with Pulido and colleagues set to be sworn in on January 3.
