Biography

Prior to taking office, Sanchez served as the vice president of American Ground Transportation.[1]

The result of the election in the 71st district was unclear for several weeks; as late as December 2, three days before the legislature was sworn in, neither Sanchez nor her opponent, Temecula Mayor Matt Rahn, had secured victory.[2]

State Assembly

Sanchez introduced two bills shortly after taking office – the first, focused on crime and public safety, would prevent human trafficking cases from being handled by multiple prosecutors. The second focused on education.[1] She was barred from joining the California Latino Legislative Caucus, which is only made up of Democrats. Sanchez says she is a Hispanic working mother.[3]
