Who Bobby is
Long before he ran for Congress, Bobby Pulido was already a household name in South Texas as a Tejano music star with a five-time Latin Grammy-nominated career.
About Bobby
Born and raised in Edinburg, Pulido studied political science at St. Mary's University before spending nearly three decades as a Tejano recording artist, known for hits like "Desvelado." He's also a small business owner and father of four. Running as a Democrat in the Blue Dog tradition, he's campaigning on affordability and healthcare costs, and has taken his campaign to quinceañeras across the Rio Grande Valley to connect directly with voters.

About Monica
Raised by a single mother in Brownsville and the granddaughter of a Mexican farmworker, De La Cruz ran a small insurance agency in the Rio Grande Valley for more than 20 years before winning her House seat in 2022. Now seeking a third term, she's branded herself as a border-security-focused Republican who has occasionally broken with her party, including joining Democrats in January 2026 to extend expiring ACA health-insurance subsidies.
