Congressman-Elect Bobby Pulido Experiences D.C. Culture Shock Over Punctuality
Bobby Pulido, the Tejano music star and newly elected U.S. Representative for Texas District 15, has expressed surprise regarding the punctuality, or lack thereof, in Washington D.C. During his initial visits to the Capitol for meetings, Pulido noted that members of Congress frequently run late, causing a ripple effect of delays. He stated that this lack of timeliness is not in his 'DNA,' as he has always prided himself on being punctual. Pulido, who defeated Republican Monica De La Cruz in the recent midterm election, campaigned on an 'everyman' image, often giving free performances and discussing relatable topics. He is the son of Robert Pulido, a farmworker-turned-Tejano star, and was raised in Edinburg, where he still resides with his family.
