  "account": "Bobby Pulido, a Tejano music star turned politician, secured a notable dual victory in 2023: a new Latin Grammy and a seat in the House of Representatives for Democrats. The Grammy win, for best tejano album for his live album \"Una Tuya y Una Mía (Vol. 2/En Vivo),\" came just days after he made history by defeating incumbent Republican congresswoman Monica De La Cruz in Texas' 15th Congressional District. Pulido, known for hits like \"Te Voy a Amar\" and \"Se Murió de Amor,\" announced his retirement from music in December 2024, expressing gratitude for his fans and declaring pride in representing Tejano music. He stated, \"We need to represent and we need to get to work to use our voices for something else,\" emphasizing the importance of collective action. Born in Edinburg, Texas, Pulido began his music career in 1995 with the album \"Desvelado,\" which gained Billboard chart recognition. As a son of Tex-Mex singer Roberto Pulido, his music career has spanned over three decades, with numerous chart entries and live performances.",
