Tejano singer and congressional candidate Bobby Pulido spoke to students at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in Edinburg on Monday.

The UTRGV College Democrats held the campus discussion to explore Pulido's vision for South Texas, according to a news release.

Pulido is running as a Democrat for the 15th Congressional District currently occupied by Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz.

"I feel it's time to do something for other people," Pulido said. "Being a singer has prepared me in a different way, especially with large audiences, and seeing what people care about."

Pulido will face Harlingen doctor Ada Cuellar in the March 2026 Democratic primary election.
