Congressman-Elect Bobby Pulido Wins Latin Grammy Days After Flipping Texas House Seat
Photo: The HillBobby Pulido, a Tejano musician and Democratic Representative-elect from Texas, won his third Latin Grammy on Thursday, Nov. 12, days after winning a seat in Congress. He took Best Tejano Album for "Bobby Pulido & Friends: Una Tuya y Una Mía," according to the articles. Pulido flipped Texas's 15th Congressional District from Republican to Democratic control in the Nov. 3 midterms, defeating two-term Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz. Accepting the award, he told fans he is retiring from music. He said he is proud to be Texan and Tejano and that the genre is in good hands with young talent, naming fellow nominees Jay Pérez and Destiny Navaira. The album was recorded at Auditorio Cumbres in Monterrey, Nuevo León, from concerts in December 2024 and was released in 2025, according to Billboard. At the same ceremony, Rosalía won five awards for her album LUX, including Album of the Year, which made her the first woman to win that prize three times. Edgar Barrera, named Producer of the Year, reached 30 career wins, the most for any individual. Milo J won four awards, and Daddy Yankee was honored as Person of the Year.
The right-leaning Daily Caller leads with Pulido and builds its story around him. It stresses the historic flip of the district, names the defeated incumbent, and quotes his retirement remarks and his farewell about getting to work. It does not mention other winners. Among the alternative sources, The Hill takes a similar angle, pairing the House win over De La Cruz with the Grammy. Stereogum differs, covering the ceremony as a music story: Rosalía's sweep, Barrera's record, Milo J and Daddy Yankee, with Pulido listed only among the winners. Left-leaning outlets had not reported this story at the time of writing, while right-leaning and alternative outlets had.
