Summary
Bobby Pulido collected his third Latin Grammy on Thursday in Las Vegas, winning best Tejano album just over a week after flipping a closely watched U.S. House seat in Texas.
The Democrat, who beat Republican Monica De La Cruz, used his acceptance speech in Spanish to say he is retiring from music and will now use his voice in a new way.
Pulido previously won the same award in 2022 and 2025, underscoring the Tejano career he highlighted during his campaign in South Texas.
His victory adds to a rare crossover moment as Democrats reclaim several southern Texas districts despite a GOP-favored redistricting map; he also missed the freshman House class photo to attend the ceremony.
