Tejano music star Bobby Pulido won a Latin Grammy on Thursday, Nov. 12, days after being elected to the U.S. Congress, Billboard reported.
The Hill reported that Pulido, a Democrat, defeated Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz in the Texas midterm elections last week and is now a Texas Rep.-elect. The Hill also described him as a Tejano musician.
According to The Hill, Pulido also won his third Latin Grammy on Thursday evening, topping the Best Tejano Album category for his project Bobby Pulido & Friends. The summary of that report cuts off before the full album title, so the complete name is not given here.
Billboard's headline also carried a quoted line, but the summary available for this story does not say who spoke it or give the surrounding remarks.
Billboard described the award as a new Latin Grammy, and The Hill called it his third. Both reports place the honor on Thursday. Billboard's summary places the award days after the election, and The Hill places the Texas race in last week's midterm elections.
Neither Billboard nor The Hill, in the material available for this story, gives the city where the ceremony took place or a date on which Pulido is to take his seat in Congress.
