Today, the Blue Dog PAC announced its endorsement of two stand-out South Texas candidates running for Congress – Bobby Pulido (TX 15) of the Rio Grande Valley and Johnny Garcia (TX-35) in San Antonio. Bobby is a two-time Latin Grammy winner, small business owner, and father who believes in practical solutions, honest leadership, and putting people ahead of party. Johnny Garcia, a law enforcement officer and former SWAT Crisis negotiator, has dedicated his life to serving his community and will bring that same level of commitment and essential de-escalation and mediation skills to Congress.
“Bobby and Johnny have deep and inextricable ties to their communities – they were born on that land, raised families there, built businesses and careers, worked on its soil, and lived side by side with their neighbors. They’ve also watched as South Texans shouldered the burden of short-sighted immigration and fiscal policies. It’s why they’re running for Congress, and it’s why we need them – because to faithfully represent your community, you must be rooted in it,” said the Blue Dog PAC. “Bobby Pulido and Johnny Garcia represent the grounded approach to governing that their communities deserve, and they embody the values that define South Texas: hard work, humility, family, and faith.”
“Being endorsed by the Blue Dog PAC means a lot to me because they believe in commonsense, being responsible with taxpayer dollars, and rising above partisan politics – the same principles I grew up with in South Texas. I’m proud to call myself a Blue Dog and to stand with Democrats who show up, listen, and get real work done for working families,” said Bobby Pulido.
“I’m an old-school Democrat running for Congress to represent hard working Texas families. I’ve served in law enforcement for nearly two decades. I’ve been boots on the ground and know firsthand the challenges my neighbors in District 35 face every day. Tariffs are raising prices on everything – let’s end them. If we can make health care more affordable, let’s do it. I’m about getting things done and delivering results. That’s why I’m proud to be a Blue Dog,” said Johnny Garcia.
