Pulido’s online history follows his effort to unseat Rep. Monica De La Cruz, R-Texas. His race, which is expected to be one of the more competitive opportunities for Democrats in Texas after redistricting efforts to unseat five Democrats in the state, will depend on whether he can win support from across the aisle. De La Cruz, a two-term incumbent, last won the district in 2024 with a 57.1%-42.9% victory over Democratic candidate Michelle Vallejo. The redistricting changes would still favor Republicans, but the seat is expected to become more accessible to Democrats.

Democrats are reportedly heavily recruiting Pulido for the nomination. reporting From Politico.
