Blue Dog Co-Chair Marie Gluesenkamp Perez congratulated Bobby Pulido tonight on his decisive primary victory in the primary for Texas’ 15th Congressional District. In a statement, Gluesenkamp Perez said:

“Bobby Pulido is a Tejano music icon and community legend who ran a locally-focused campaign that transcended left-right politics. Bobby’s victory tonight, in spite of a barrage of negative attacks against him, shows how strong a candidate he will be in the general election. With deep roots in the district and community connections that money can’t buy, Bobby showed up everywhere this primary. Right now families across Texas and the nation are struggling with out-of-control prices on groceries, housing, and healthcare making it harder to pay the bills and get ahead. Bobby will fight for an economy where South Texas families can have the economic self-reliance, agency, and independence to build their own lives on their own terms.

Blue Dog PAC was proud to endorse and support Bobby in this race. He is the kind of commonsense leader we need in Congress who will fight for working families, not special interests, and deliver real results for his district. Bobby is deeply rooted in this community, and tonight’s results clearly show that when we elect candidates who truly represent their neighbors, we can win and deliver for everyone.”

Blue Dog Co-Chair Marie Gluesenkamp Perez congratulated Jamie Ager tonight on his resounding primary win, propelling him forward to the general election in North Carolina’s 11th District where he will campaign focused on delivering real results for North Carolina families:

“Jamie’s an Honest-to-God farmer who’s loyal to his people and the land down to his bones. That’s why he won, and that’s why the good people of Western North Carolina are going to send him to Congress and get these swamp creatures straightened out. The sad truth is that Honest, hardworking candidates don’t always win – but tonight it worked, and we thank God for that.”

Races in the Lone Star State are among those that will be key to determining which party controls the U.S. House.

From The New York Times | By Shane Goldmacher

Democrats are tapping candidates with unusual résumés — a Tejano recording star, a smokejumper and a fourth-generation farmer — to compete in areas long seen as inhospitable.
