U.S. Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez
U.S. Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez represents California’s 38th congressional district but the first thing her family and friends will tell you is that she’s never stopped “kicking ass for the working class.” Most of all, she is also a proud mom, dog lover, and Dodgers fan. Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2002, Sánchez is the first Latina to serve on the powerful House Committee on Ways and Means and the House Judiciary Committee. A lifelong progressive, Sánchez has devoted her career to helping working people get ahead: advocating for families, improving America’s education system, and bringing jobs to Southern California. In addition to co-founding the Congressional Labor and Working Families Caucus, Sánchez has served as the Ranking Member of the House Ethics Committee, Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC), and Vice Chair of the House Democratic Caucus. She is the first Latina elected to a leadership position in the U.S. Congress.
