Bobby Pulido, a Democratic congressional candidate and Latin Grammy winner, stated in a 2010 interview that he has not gone grocery shopping since becoming a music star. In the interview, he mentioned that while he occasionally visited supermarkets during college, he has not done so in the 15 years since his career began. Pulido's current campaign focuses on affordability, a key issue for Democrats in the upcoming 2026 midterms, as they aim to address inflation and high gas prices. Pulido argues that rising prices disproportionately affect his district, which he believes has the lowest per-capita income in Texas. He is running against incumbent Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz, with the election scheduled for November 3, 2026. Pulido's campaign emphasizes the impact of economic issues on everyday life, contrasting with his earlier remarks about not having time for grocery shopping.
