REPORTED ABOUT The Texas Tribune writes (only the words in inner quotation marks are the De La Cruz campaign’s) (published 2026-07-06): “But De La Cruz has continued to press the case that Pulido is untrustworthy. ‘The only reason Bobby Pulido thought he could get away with bailing this serial pedophile out of jail and marching him into a public school is the same reason he thinks he’s entitled to a seat in Congress: he’s a silver-spooned celebrity, a creature of the corrupt establishment that got rich while the Valley got poorer,’ the De La Cruz campaign said.

REPORTED ABOUT The Texas Tribune writes (only the words in inner quotation marks are De La Cruz’s) (published 2026-04-09): “Pulido’s quinceañera circuit was inspired by a March 4 video posted on social media by his Republican opponent, incumbent U.S. Rep. Monica De La Cruz, in which she referred to Pulido as a ‘scandal-plagued celebrity’ and questioned his fitness for office. ‘This election isn’t about who you want performing at your niece’s quinceañera,’ said De La Cruz, R-Edinburg.” The Texas Tribune · Bobby Pulido brings congressional campaign to quinceañeras · 2026-04-09
