US House — TX-15

Federal

Republican incumbent Monica De La Cruz defends a Rio Grande Valley seat she first flipped in 2022. Her 2026 challenger is Bobby Pulido — a Latin Grammy-winning Tejano singer from Edinburg who won the Democratic primary with 67%. The 2025 redistricting made the seat more Republican-leaning (Trump +18 in 2024), but Pulido's name recognition and regional fame keep Democrats competitive.
