Flipping Texas: Can “Moderate” Democrat Bobby Pulido Court Back Latino Voters?

Texas holds the second-most electoral votes in the nation and is often a testing ground for policies that later manifest across the U.S. But can historically Republican Texas turn blue? And if so, what impact could it have on the rest of the country? We speak to two Democratic contenders hoping to shift the next election.  In this episode, Maria Hinojosa sits down with Tejano superstar Bobby Pulido, the Democratic nominee in Texas’ 15th Congressional District. They discuss key issues facing voters in South Texas, and why he thinks his “moderate” Democratic policies can win back Latino voters.   Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.
