Bobby Pulido accepted his Latin Grammy win on Thursday night with a Texas pride speech that also served as a launchpad for his new political career.
The incoming congressman had just won a competitive House seat one week earlier, and he used the Thursday stage to accept his third best Tejano album award while confirming his retirement from music. He said he was proud to be from Texas, Tejano and to represent the music, and he pledged to represent both politics and music.
