Bobby Pulido was born and raised in Edinburg, Texas, where he still lives today with his wife. He is the proud father of four sons, raising his family in the same community that shaped him. The son of a farmworker-turned-musician, Bobby grew up surrounded by the values that define South Texas: hard work, humility, family, and faith.
After graduating from Edinburg High School, Bobby studied political science before pursuing a music career that would make him one of Tejano’s most recognized voices. For nearly three decades, he traveled the world performing, but his heart has always remained in the Rio Grande Valley.
Beyond the stage, Bobby built a life as a small business owner, signing paychecks, balancing budgets, and navigating the challenges that so many Valley entrepreneurs face. Those experiences gave him a firsthand understanding of what it takes to create opportunity in South Texas — and how important it is to invest in people and communities.
At home, Bobby is most proud of being a husband and father. Raising four sons in Edinburg has deepened his commitment to creating a better future for the next generation. In his free time, he enjoys hunting and spending time outdoors, staying connected to the land and traditions of the Valley.
Bobby is a South Texan who understands the struggles families face because they are his own: rising costs, a healthcare system that too often fails, and an immigration debate that ignores the realities of border communities. He believes in practical solutions, honest leadership, and putting people ahead of party.
Bobby’s life has always been about connection — listening to people, telling their stories, and building bridges across communities. From his earliest days growing up in Edinburg to his career on stage and his work in business, he has carried with him a belief that service to others is what matters most.
For Bobby, the Rio Grande Valley isn’t just where he’s from — it’s who he is.
