Rep.-elect Bobby Pulido is giving up his music career to serve in Congress, but the Texas Democrat is going out with one more accolade after winning his third Latin Grammy on Thursday.
Mr. Pulido, 53, accepted the award for Best Tejano Album, his third Latin Grammy in the category following wins last year and in 2022. The award ceremony was held Thursday at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Tejano is a music style that fuses Mexican and American influences and is popular in southern Texas, where Mr. Pulido is from.

“Last week @PulidoForTexas crushed his MAGA opponent and flipped a Republican House seat. This week he just won a Latin Grammy Award for Best Tejano Album. Felicidades and what a month for Congressman-Elect Pulido!” House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said on social media.
