上周在得克萨斯州中期选举中击败共和党众议员莫妮卡·德拉克鲁兹后，得克萨斯州当选众议员、特哈诺音乐人鲍比·普利多（民主党）于周四晚间赢得他的第三座拉丁格莱美奖。
After defeating GOP Rep. Monica De La Cruz in the Lone Star State's midterm elections last week, Texas Rep.-elect and Tejano musician Bobby Pulido (D) won his third Latin Grammy on Thursday evening.
他凭借作品《Bobby Pulido & Friends: Una Tuya y Una Mía (Vol.2/En Vivo)》摘得颁奖典礼“最佳特哈诺专辑”类别奖项。就在获奖前几天，他还在国会山参加新议员培训。
He topped the award ceremony’s “Best Tejano Album” category for his project “Bobby Pulido & Friends: Una Tuya y Una Mía (Vol.2/En Vivo).”Just days before his win, he was up on Capitol Hill for new member orientation.
《华盛顿太阳报》报道称，他是缺席传统众议院新议员合影的新当选议员之一，因为他当时正前往拉斯维加斯参加颁奖典礼。在周四晚间的获奖感言中，普利多透露他将退出音乐行业。
The Washington Sun reported that he was among the newly elected lawmakers who missed a traditional House freshman class photo because he was en route to the award ceremony in Las Vegas. During his acceptance speech on Thursday evening, Pulido shared that he was retiring from the music industry.
“我想告诉你们，我要退出音乐界了，我带着满满的感激离开，”他用西班牙语说道。
“I want to tell you that I’m retiring from music, and I’m leaving with so much gratitude,” he said in Spanish.
他还说：“我们很快会再见，因为我们需要代表民众，我们需要开始工作，把我们的声音用于其他事情。”
He added, “I’ll see you soon, because we need to represent and we need to get to work to use our voices for something else.”
众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯（民主党-纽约州）在社交媒体发帖祝贺普利多获奖。
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) congratulated Pulido on his win in a social media post.
“上周，@PulidoForTexas 击溃了他的MAGA对手，翻转了一个共和党众议院席位，”杰弗里斯写道。“本周他刚刚赢得拉丁格莱美最佳特哈诺专辑奖。恭喜，对当选众议员普利多来说这是多么精彩的一个月。”
“Last week @PulidoForTexas crushed his MAGA opponent and flipped a Republican House seat,” Jeffries wrote. “This week he just won a Latin Grammy Award for Best Tejano Album. Felicidades and what a month for Congressman-Elect Pulido.”
普利多周二表示，如果他赢得专辑提名，他不会把格莱美奖带到华盛顿特区，他对TMZ的查理·科顿说：“这里是工作的地方。”
Pulido said on Tuesday that he would not bring his Grammy to Washington, D.C., if he won the album nomination, telling TMZ’s Charlie Cotton, “This is a place for work.”
“作为公职人员，责任比当歌手大得多，这是肯定的，毫无疑问，”他说。
“It’s a much bigger responsibility to be a public servant than it is to be a singer, for sure, no doubt,” he said.
“你的决定真的会影响人们，而作为歌手，你可以用不同的方式影响人们，但这不一样。”
“Your decisions really affect people, and as a singer you can influence people in a different way, but it’s not the same.”
这位当选众议员表示他正在放下自己的职业生涯，但他告诉科顿，他在培训期间与佛罗里达州众议员达伦·索托（民主党）谈过加入一个由国会议员组成的乐队的事。“我觉得他们在招募我，”他告诉TMZ。“他们需要一名主唱，所以我们拭目以待。”
While the representative-elect said he was setting aside his professional career, he told Cotton he spoke with Florida Rep. Darren Soto (D) during orientation about joining a band made up of members of Congress. “I think they’re recruiting me,” he told TMZ. “They need a vocalist, so we’ll see.”
