Tejano icon, Bobby Pulido launches official run for Congress
TEXAS (KFDX/KJTL) — One Mexican-American music legend is retiring from his 30-year music tenure and transitioning into politics to run for Congress.
Jose Roberto Pulido Jr., better known as Bobby Pulido, is a Texas-born and raised Tejano music legend who has been active since the 1990s. He is now stepping down from his music career to run for Texas’s 15th Congressional District, which Rep. Monica De La Cruz currently holds.
The “Desvelado” singer officially announced and launched his campaign via Instagram on Wednesday, September 17, quoting:
“Amigos, today is the beginning of something new. For months, I’ve been praying, talking with my family, and listening to neighbors all across South Texas. Now, I’m ready to take this step with you. I’m running for Congress because our community deserves a real voice in Washington—someone who knows our story, our struggles, and our dreams. This campaign is about us, about building a future where our kids don’t have to leave home to chase opportunity, and where hard work is respected. This is just the start. I hope you’ll walk this journey with me.”
