Bill Clinton Endorses Bobby Pulido in Texas Congressional Race

Former President Bill Clinton has publicly endorsed Bobby Pulido, a Latin Grammy-winning Tejano singer, for the U.S. House seat representing Texas’s 15th District. The endorsement comes as Pulido challenges incumbent Republican Monica de la Cruz in a district that is 81 percent Hispanic and located along the southern border near San Antonio.

Clinton released a video message urging voters to support Pulido in the November 3 election, describing the race as a "turning point" for the nation. He argued that electing leaders like Pulido ensures a focus on affordability and justice, contrasting this with what he termed "disastrous decisions" that raise costs and cut healthcare. Clinton emphasized that Pulido understands the priority of putting people first, noting his background in political science alongside his music career.

Pulido’s campaign aims to reconnect Latino voters who have shifted away from the Democratic Party in recent years. Despite his fame, Pulido describes his transition to politics as more demanding than his artistic endeavors. He has pledged to represent all constituents regardless of party affiliation, seeking to bridge divides in a competitive swing district.

The contest highlights the growing influence of Latino voters in Texas politics. While Clinton frames the election as a critical moment for economic fairness, Pulido focuses on practical governance and cross-party representation. His opponent, De la Cruz, remains the established Republican voice in the district, setting up a clash between cultural resonance and incumbency.
