Democrat Bobby Pulido defeats Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz in Texas's 15th Congressional District
Democrat Bobby Pulido, a Tejano singer, defeated incumbent Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz in Texas's 15th Congressional District, according to projections from the Associated Press and Decision Desk HQ. The district was redrawn by Texas Republicans in a mid-decade redistricting effort and would have favored Trump by 18 points in 2024. Pulido led with roughly 61.6% to De La Cruz's 38.4% with 89% of votes counted.
