Bobby Pulido
Asked where he stands on U.S. military aid and arms to Israel, Pulido declined to take a position, saying "I don’t have as much information that a congressman is privy to" and that he wishes there was peace between the two.
Pulido is a Tejano musician and the Democratic nominee in Texas’s 15th District. He won the primary on March 3, 2026.
He was asked this question directly and did not answer it. In a Texas Observer interview on July 23, 2026 he was asked where he stands on sending U.S. military aid and arms to Israel and declined to take a definitive position on conditioning or stopping weapons transfers, saying "I don’t have as much information that a congressman is privy to", and adding: "I just wish there was peace between the two, and I feel like I blame this administration for not being strong-willed enough."
That is the whole of his located record on what America sends. The first search reports he has made very few statements characterising the conflict at all, running instead on healthcare, agriculture, border policy and affordability in South Texas.
Two endorsements are worth noting together and neither is a position of his. In May 2026 the Democratic Majority for Israel PAC endorsed him as part of a slate of pro-Israel Democrats, and JStreetPAC also lists him. Those two committees sit on different sides of most arguments in this area, and a candidate appearing on both lists while declining to state a position is a fact about the endorsements rather than about him. In June 2026 he called Citizens United "formalized corruption" and referenced pro-Israel lobbying while arguing for campaign finance reform.
He has held no federal office and has no recorded votes on any of this.

U.S. military aid and weapons to Israel
- 2026-07-23 [Current position; card-leading]: In an interview with the Texas Observer he was asked where he stands on sending U.S. military aid and arms to Israel. He declined to take a definitive stance on conditioning or stopping weapons transfers, saying "I don't have as much information that a congressman is privy to", and adding "I just wish there was peace between the two, and I feel like I blame this administration for not being strong-willed enough". Not opened.
⚠ **A DECLINATION IS THE FINDING AND IT MUST NOT BE RESOLVED EITHER WAY.** He was asked the question this project exists to answer and said he does not have enough information. That is reportable in itself and the card reports it.
U.S. aid to Palestinians
- Nothing located, in either direction.
Characterization of the conflict
- 2026-07-23 [Current position]: In the same interview: "I just wish there was peace between the two, and I feel like I blame this administration for not being strong-willed enough." The first search’s verdict is that he has made very few statements characterising the conflict and has not addressed its root causes or history, running instead on healthcare, agriculture, border policy and affordability.
Rhetoric and lobbying
[Endorsements and lobbying arguments are never positions on weapons or funding.]
- 2026-05-11 [Current position]: Democratic Majority for Israel PAC endorsed him as part of a slate of pro-Israel Democrats. The release notes its endorsed candidates' general commitment to confronting antisemitism; the first search records that he has not personally made statements on that subject.
- 2022-12-14 [Earlier record]: JStreetPAC's candidate index lists him. Both this and the DMFI page are advocacy committee sources, which stay visible here and never carry a card.
- 2026-06-23 [Current position; SOURCE DID NOT OPEN]: In a campaign video he called Citizens United "formalized corruption" and referenced pro-Israel lobbying while discussing outsized financial influence in elections, pledging to work to overturn it. Its source page, a post on his campaign page, would not open.
- 2026-05-09 [Current position]: A Leadership Now Project candidate page is among the sources. An advocacy page, recorded as consulted.
Safety and antisemitism
- The first search’s own verdict: no public records or statements from him personally addressing antisemitism or safety measures for Jewish communities. The DMFI endorsement release speaks for its slate generally, not for him.
Sources consulted and read
- The Texas Observer interview, which carries his only statement on this question.
- His Ballotpedia page, listed twice.
What came back empty or unusable
- Seven sources, of which three are advocacy or endorsement pages, one is a 400 and two are the same Ballotpedia entry.
- No campaign website page setting out a foreign policy position was located.
- Card-leading interview not opened.
