EXPOSED: Mexican Mayor Recruits Voters for Texas Democrat Who Promised to “Take Care” of Her City

A Mexican government official just got caught on camera urging her constituents to mobilize their American relatives to elect a Democratic congressional candidate who pledged to prioritize her foreign municipality over American interests.

This isn’t speculation. This isn’t conspiracy theory. This is documented fact.

Patricia Frinee Cantú Garza, mayor of General Bravo in Nuevo León, Mexico, issued a direct call to action in a Spanish-language Facebook video earlier this month. Her message was crystal clear: get your family members in Texas to vote for Bobby Pulido, the Democratic challenger running against Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz.

“We need to get out the vote for him,” Garza declared without hesitation. “Talk to your families in the United States. Make sure they go vote.”

A Quid Pro Quo Caught on Camera

But here’s where this story goes from troubling to outrageous.

Garza didn’t just endorse Pulido. She revealed an apparent understanding between the candidate and her administration. “When he becomes a congressman, we want him to take care of Bravo,” the Mexican mayor stated plainly.

Think about those words for a moment. An elected official of a foreign government expects an American congressman to “take care” of her Mexican city. This represents exactly the kind of divided loyalty that should disqualify any candidate from federal office.

The mayor even planned to present Pulido with the keys to her city on April 3 in an official ceremony. Only a funding shortage prevented this foreign government from throwing what amounts to a campaign event for an American congressional candidate.

The Pulido Campaign’s Implausible Denial

Faced with these facts, Pulido’s campaign issued a statement dripping with implausibility: “Bobby doesn’t know the mayor and has never met her.”

Really?

Because Pulido headlined concerts in General Bravo as recently as November 2023. Local officials promoted these shows extensively. The current mayor and her husband—who was then serving as mayor—both appeared at these events.

We’re supposed to believe that a performer who headlines shows in a small Mexican city, promoted by its government and attended by its top officials, has “never met” the mayor?

That defies basic common sense.

A “Winter Texan” Wants to Represent Texas

The connections run far deeper than one Facebook video.

Pulido himself admitted in a 2023 YouTube interview that he’s a “summer Mexican” but “winter Texan”—a stunning characterization for someone now seeking to represent Texas in Congress.

“My wife and I have a house in Mexico,” Pulido acknowledged. “So, we travel there, and we spend time over there.”

His financial disclosures filed with the House in April tell the rest of the story. Pulido maintains a checking account at a Mexican bank. No mortgage appears on any American property in these documents.

When pressed, Pulido’s campaign insists he lives in his “family home” in Edinburg, Texas. But his own words paint a picture of someone whose primary allegiance may not lie north of the Rio Grande.

Foreign Interference Hiding in Plain Sight

Former Federal Election Commission Chairman Bradley Smith contends this situation creates no legal issues for Pulido—only political ones. That assessment may be technically correct, but it completely misses the point.

Americans have spent years rightly concerned about foreign interference in our elections. We’ve endured endless investigations, impeachments, and media hysteria over alleged Russian influence operations.

Yet here we have a foreign government official openly coordinating get-out-the-vote efforts for a Democratic candidate who apparently promised favorable treatment for her city—and the establishment shrugs.

The double standard couldn’t be more glaring.

The Larger Pattern

This incident exposes a troubling reality that Republicans have been warning about for years: our election system contains gaping vulnerabilities to foreign influence, and Democrats consistently block efforts to address them.

Congressional Republicans have pushed legislation to strengthen voter identification requirements and prevent non-citizens from casting ballots. Democrats have fought these common-sense reforms at every turn, dismissing concerns as overblown.

But state investigations and audits have revealed thousands of non-citizens registered to vote across the country. The system relies almost entirely on the honor system and voluntary compliance.

When a Mexican mayor can publicly recruit voters for an American congressional candidate who maintains a home in her country, something has gone fundamentally wrong.

Questions That Demand Answers

Pulido owes voters in Texas’s district clear answers to straightforward questions:

What exactly did he promise the mayor of General Bravo? What does “take care of Bravo” mean in practical terms? How many times has he actually met with Mexican officials about his congressional campaign? Where does his primary loyalty lie—with Texas or with the Mexican communities where he spends significant time?

These aren’t unfair questions. They’re essential ones.

American lawmakers must represent American interests, period. They cannot serve two masters. They cannot pledge allegiance to foreign municipalities while simultaneously seeking to exercise power over American policy, American tax dollars, and American security.

What This Means for November

Texas voters face a clear choice this November between Monica De La Cruz—a proven conservative who has never wavered in her commitment to America-first principles—and Bobby Pulido, whose loyalties appear dangerously divided.

De La Cruz has fought to secure the border, strengthen election integrity, and put American workers first. She answers to her Texas constituents, not to foreign mayors seeking favors.

Pulido, by contrast, maintains deep financial and personal ties to Mexico, splits his time between countries, and finds himself implicated—however unwittingly—in a foreign government’s effort to influence American elections.

The stakes couldn’t be higher.

If a Mexican mayor feels comfortable publicly recruiting voters for Pulido based on his promise to “take care” of her city, what other commitments has he made? What other foreign interests might influence his votes in Congress?

Americans deserve representatives whose loyalty is undivided and unquestionable. Anything less is unacceptable.

The facts speak for themselves. The only question now is whether Texas voters are paying attention.
