Voter guide

Background, stated goals, record, and money

Goals come from the campaign's own platform. Record lines are official actions.

How this guide is built

Background comes from official records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so; goals are summarized from the campaign's own platform and stay attributed; the record lines are official actions with the government source attached; money is shown as filed, with the filings it covers in the note under the table, and is not evidence of why any position was taken.

Bobby Pulido

Background

  • His campaign says he was born and raised in Edinburg, where he lives with his wife, and is the father of four sons.
  • A Tejano singer for nearly three decades who studied political science at St. Mary's University, by his campaign's account.
  • His campaign says he has run small businesses in the Valley.
  • The committee he formed for this race is his first with the FEC.

What they say they want to do

  • Stand up to big corporations raising prices, and cut red tape for small businesses.
  • A secure border and removal of violent criminals, with a path to legalization for people who come to work.
  • Keep and strengthen Medicare and bring down health and drug costs.
  • No school vouchers, and better pay for teachers.
  • Desalination and irrigation investment, and holding Mexico to its water treaty.

What the official record shows

He has not held public office, so there are no votes or official acts to list. His campaign biography describes a music and business career and no office, and the FEC lists no campaign of his before this one.
