Latin Grammy-winning Tejano singer Bobby Pulido has flipped a Republican congressional seat in Texas, defeating incumbent Monica De La Cruz on Tuesday in the 15th Congressional District. The district had been redrawn to favor Republicans in 2025 at President Donald Trump's request. Monica De La Cruz was first elected to Congress in 2022.

He also campaigned on strengthening the economy, supporting farmers and ranchers, opposing school vouchers and improving water infrastructure in the Rio Grande Valley, where the district begins.
