Tejano music legend Bobby Pulido announces bid for Congress
Pulido aims to address economic struggles, immigration, and healthcare in a district where Trump won nearly 60% of the vote in 2024, challenging the incumbent Republican.
- On September 17, 2025, Tejano music star Bobby Pulido announced his Democratic campaign for Texas' 15th Congressional District to unseat Republican Monica De La Cruz.
- Pulido launched his bid after serving three decades as a singer and amid redistricting that kept the district conservative and strongly favored Trump in 2024.
- Pulido, running as a moderate who says he is 'not Team Red or Team Blue,' has traveled nine of the district's 11 counties and emphasizes shared local culture.
- A recent survey conducted by a Democratic polling firm found De La Cruz holding a narrow advantage over Pulido by three percentage points, with 21% of respondents still undecided, reflecting the district’s strong 18% margin favoring Trump and its varied partisan composition.
- Pulido’s campaign highlights immigration reform, economic struggles, and corporate influence amid Democrats’ hopes to flip the seat in a challenging, heavily Latino but conservative district.
