2026 Texas General Election

In the Valley and across South Texas, the economy we care about is not a bunch of numbers and letters flashing on a board on Wall Street. It’s in our pockets, at the pump, in the grocery store when we buy fajitas, milk and eggs – and for some it’s when they have to choose between paying the rent or for their health insurance.
People down here don’t expect handouts, but they do expect and deserve a fair shot. I will stand up to the big greedy corporations that have been raising prices on Americans who are already struggling to pay for basic necessities.

I will stand up to the big greedy corporations that have been raising prices on Americans who are already struggling to pay for basic necessities.

I will also focus on cutting the red tape that strangles small businesses because down here the heart of our economy is driven by small local businesses, working families and entrepreneurs.

I think it’s about time we reward their hard work, invest in skills and apprenticeships, and support the creation of higher-wage jobs that keep our talent right here at home building the South Texas economy.

Pledges to challenge corporations that raise prices on basic necessities.

Plans to reduce regulations affecting small businesses.

Advocates for skills training, apprenticeships, and higher-wage jobs in South Texas.

I believe we can secure the border without destroying families and our local economy in the process. We can more effectively attack the flow of fentanyl and other cartel driven drug supply lines into our country.

Calls for more effective action against fentanyl trafficking and drug supply lines operated by cartels.

Public Safety

For starters, I believe that, like Social Security, Medicare is a promise and a critical safety net that we have to keep and make stronger. We also need real leadership not more political rhetoric if we are ever going to succeed in bringing down costs by negotiating better returns for what we spend on healthcare and prescription drugs.

Democratic primary voters need to primarily see and then see on the go and read from women that they support Bobby Pulido because he believes in the right of every Texas woman to make their own healthcare decisions, including about abortion, in consultation with their faith, physician, and family. We can count on Bobby to support Roe v. Wade and the right to choose.

What voters need to know about Bobby Pulido | Bobby Pulido for Congress

Healthcare That Protects Our Families

The truth is that today, healthcare costs are crushing families and in rural areas all across the country hospitals are in danger of having to close their doors. We have to rethink how we provide actually affordable healthcare to more people.

Education That Invests in Our Kids and Teachers

I believe strong public schools are critical to the success of South Texas. That’s why I oppose voucher schemes that drain money from our classrooms and send it to private schools.

Parents should know their kids are getting a fair shot at success no matter their zip code and that starts with doing right by our teachers and the school system that supports them.
That’s why I will focus on making sure teachers get paid better for educating our sons and daughters, on reducing classroom overcrowding, and investing in skills training so every student is prepared to do the jobs of tomorrow or to create the businesses that will take our South Texas economy into the future.

Opposes school voucher programs that redirect public-school funding to private schools.

Education

Tariffs and trade wars are driving up costs and closing off opportunities, leaving too many of our families struggling to keep up.
I believe in strong, commonsense agricultural policy that protects our natural resources, supports rural families, and keeps safe, affordable, American-grown food on every table.

Water Is Life; and It’s Running Out

The Valley has been dealing with a growing water crisis. Without action, there’s no farming, no jobs, no future. We need to fight for bold investments in desalination, modern irrigation and infrastructure to secure the water we need for decades to come.

I’ll fight to hold Mexico accountable for water treaty obligations and build a regional strategy that prioritizes South Texas families and farmers. If we can’t secure our water, we can’t secure the Valley’s future.

Our goal as a country should be to have a secure border – a policy that should not change based on what president or party is in charge – and we have to go after the violent criminals that are here illegally and get them out of our country.

The problem is that when it comes to the immigration debate, for a long time now, it’s been happening among a bunch of politicians in Washington who don’t want to solve the problem and don’t care about what people like us down here in South Texas think.

I believe we can secure the border without destroying families and our local economy in the process.

We can more effectively attack the flow of fentanyl and other cartel driven drug supply lines into our country.

We can and should have more vetting hubs in Central America to help bring order to migration as we create a more fair and reasonable path to legalization for those who want to come here to contribute – because American businesses need a reliable workforce.
