The TX-15 contest between incumbent Republican Monica De La Cruz and Democratic challenger Bobby Pulido remains tightly matched in trader pricing because 2025 redistricting shifted the Rio Grande Valley seat toward a stronger Republican baseline while Pulido’s regional name recognition as a Tejano musician sustains Democratic competitiveness among Latino voters. Recent polling averages show Pulido ahead or within a few points, consistent with Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball ratings that range from Lean Republican to Toss-up. Fundraising edges favor De La Cruz, yet border security, economic concerns, and turnout dynamics in Hidalgo County continue to compress projected margins. The November 3 general election leaves room for late shifts from national conditions or voter mobilization to separate the candidates.
