Bobby Pulido, Tejano music legend and Democratic candidate, is making waves by running for Congress in Texas’ fiercely Republican 15th District—where Trump won 70% in 2024. At a packed rally-concert in Beeville, nearly 3,000 fans turned out to hear him blend his musical roots with populist messages about family, economic struggle, and redistricting that may have accidentally created a more “Tejano-friendly” district. With recent polls showing him leading his GOP opponent by two points, Pulido’s star power and cultural connection are resonating—even drawing support from other Democrats like Gina Hinojosa, while fellow candidate James Talarico faced backlash. His campaign’s bold move: turn the stage into a political battleground—and prove that Tejano beats can win elections.
