Tejano singer-turned-congressional candidate Bobby Pulido will hold his final concert this weekend in South Texas, according to a statement from his campaign. 

The two-time Latin Grammy winner’s final concert, dubbed “La Última Desvelada,” will take place at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Bert Ogden Arena in Pulido’s hometown of Edinburg. The concert reportedly will be Pulido’s last — regardless of whether he wins his race to represent Texas’ 15th Congressional District. 

Tickets for Pulido’s finsal show are on sale now.

Pulido, a moderate Democrat, is engaged in a tight battle for the congressional seat against U.S. Rep. Monica De La Cruz, the MAGA Republican incumbent.

Although the GOP-led Texas Legislature redrew the district last year to favor Republicans, several polls show Pulido in a dead heat with De La Cruz, prompting the Cook Political Report to change its rating of the race to “tossup.”

Early voting runs Oct. 19-30, and Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3.


Texas politics is a mess. We make it a readable mess.
