| Today, the DCCC announced that Bobby Pulido has been added to the committee’s highly competitive ‘Red to Blue’ program, signaling that the DCCC is invested in providing Pulido, a top-tier candidate, with the support needed to continue building a winning campaign as he runs for Texas’ 15th Congressional District.
“Bobby Pulido is the candidate South Texans deserve — someone with a deep understanding of the community that is ready to give a voice to the working families that Monica De La Cruz has neglected. Bobby is ready to fight for his community and flip South Texas blue,” said DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene.
Bobby Pulido is not just a Tejano icon, he’s the embodiment of the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas culture. A life-long South Texan, Bobby has worked to give a voice to the community when they didn’t have one. Over his career, Bobby has become a proven advocate that understands the struggles his community is facing. Now, Bobby is answering the call to serve and bring South Texas values to Congress. Monica De La Cruz has abandoned South Texas, delivering devastating blows to working families. While these voters have known and loved Bobby for years, more than 6 in 10 voters in this newly drawn district are new to Monica De La Cruz thanks to Republicans’ gerrymander. As De La Cruz turns a blind eye to her community’s pain, Bobby is ready to bring a new voice to Washington and fight for a better future for South Texans.
Bobby Pulido’s high level of name recognition and popularity amongst key constituencies in this new district give him a significant leg up in the battle for South Texas.
Red to Blue is a highly competitive and battle-tested DCCC program that arms top-tier candidates with organizational and fundraising support to help them continue building winning campaigns. Additionally, through Red to Blue the DCCC provides strategic guidance, staff resources, candidate trainings, fundraising support, and more. |
