Pulido’s $1.43 Million Q2 Is the Biggest Single Fundraising Quarter Ever for a First-Time Candidate in the District
EDINBURG, TX — Tejano music star and TX-15 congressional candidate Bobby Pulido announced today that his campaign raised more than $1.43 million in the second quarter of 2026, setting an all-time record for the largest single fundraising quarter ever recorded by a first-time congressional candidate in TX-15 history. This brings Pulido’s total fundraising haul to over $3 million for the cycle.
In Q2, the campaign received nearly 16,000 individual donations, with over 90% of contributions coming in under $100. The campaign’s historic fundraising quarter and broad grassroots support cements TX-15 as the top congressional flip opportunity in Texas and one of the most competitive House races in the country.
“I am incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support this campaign has received from right here in South Texas and all over the country,” said TX-15 congressional candidate Bobby Pulido. “This is a testament to the strength of the campaign we are building here that is ‘South Texas Cien Por Ciento.’ People are showing up because they know what’s at stake and they know that TX-15 has been sold out for too long by my corrupt, crooked opponent, Monica De La Cruz.
Monica voted to gut our healthcare, raise our grocery and gas bills, and make life harder here for South Texas families – all while collecting a paycheck in Washington and never once holding a town hall to face the people she turned her back on. In November, we’re going to hold her accountable for her failures and bring real leadership back to South Texas.”
