Biography

Background

Sanchez was born in Lynwood, California and graduated from Katella High School in Anaheim in 1978. She received her undergraduate degree from Chapman University in Orange in 1982, obtained her MBA from American University in Washington, DC in 1984, and was a financial analyst until entering the House. A daughter of working-class Mexican immigrants, Sanchez describes herself as growing up a "shy, quiet girl" who did not speak English. She credits government with much of her success in public life.[1] Her father was a unionized machinist and her mother worked as a secretary. Her immigrant parents had seven children, all of whom went to college.[2] Sanchez joined the United Food and Commercial Workers when she worked as an ice cream server in high school, and she received a union scholarship to college.

Entry into politics

In 1994 Sanchez ran unsuccessfully as a moderate Republican for the Anaheim City Council under her then married name, Loretta Brixey. In 1996, she changed parties and recast herself as a moderate Democrat to run in the 46th District against controversial six-term Republican incumbent Bob Dornan. The Republican Party is one of two major contemporary political parties in the United States of America, along with the Democratic Party. ...

The bitterly fought race saw Sanchez charge that Dornan was out of touch with his constituency, especially after a distracting run for the 1996 Republican Presidential nomination. The 46th had always had a Democratic tilt, but became even more Democratic after the 1990 census when it received a considerably larger number of Hispanics than had previously been in the district. Sanchez won by only 984 votes, and Dornan contested the election, alleging that many votes were cast by people who were not U.S. citizens. The Hispanic world. ...


A Congressional investigation found evidence that 624 votes were indeed cast by non-citizens and an additional 124 were improper absentee votes, but the investigation was halted and the outcome was upheld by a Republican-controlled Congress,[3] and Sanchez became the first Latina to represent Orange County in Congress. Dornan continues to assert that he won the election, due to illegal voter registration of non-Americans who then cast ballots for Sanchez in the election. Up to 4,023 illegal voters were reported to have cast ballots in the 46th congressional district election, according to a 1996 Immigration and Nationalization Service investigation into the alleged election fraud. [4]


Sanchez became the first (and as of 2006, only) Democrat to represent a significant portion of Orange County since Dornan ousted Jerry Patterson in 1984. In a 1998 rematch, she defeated Dornan and has not faced serious opposition since. Her district was renumbered the 47th District after the 2000 census. In 2006, she defeated perennial candidate Tan D.

2003 Gubernatorial recall election

During the California's Gubernatorial recall campaign, Sanchez was one of the first Democrats to break from Governor Gray Davis and state that a Democrat should run to succeed Davis in case the recall measure passed. Though she recommended that the Democratic candidate be California’s Senior Senator Dianne Feinstein, Sanchez stated that if no other serious Democratic contender stepped forward, she would be willing to run herself.

Political positions

Sanchez is known for her interests in education, crime, economic development, and protections for senior citizens.[7]


Education

After changing parties, she staunchly opposed the Republican's Head Start program overhaul in the 108th Congress, invoking her experience growing up poor and challenged by a speech impediment. "I know about these kids, because I am one of those kids," she said during debate on the bill. "It hurts to hear you talk about how we are not successful, or how we are losers. But we are very successful. We have had a lot of successes with Head Start," she said. Sanchez has asserted that conservative Republicans are not committed to improving public education.[8] When President Bush’s 2003 budget proposal threatened to cut education grants, she responded, "If he can run deficits for the military, then he can run deficits to educate our children."[9] The Republican Party is one of two major contemporary political parties in the United States of America, along with the Democratic Party. ...

Conservative positions

Sanchez is conservative on fiscal issues. She supported tax reform along with Republicans in her first campaign and has also sided with conservatives on such issues as amending the Constitution to outlaw flag desecration and encouraging states to prosecute violent juvenile offenders as adults. [10]


Foreign policy

According to Congressional Quarterly, "In 2002, [Sanchez] voted against reviving fast-track procedures for congressional action on trade deals. And, coming from a district with one of the largest Vietnamese communities outside Vietnam, she voted against a trade agreement with Vietnam, saying that political and human rights conditions in that country needed improvement. Her outspokenness led the Hanoi regime to refuse to allow her into the country late in 2004 when she applied for an entry visa to meet with dissidents."[11] By April 2006, Sanchez had been denied a visa to visit Vietnam four times by the country's officials.[12]


Iraq

Sanchez voted against authorizing the president to use force in Iraq on October 10, 2002 but she has voted in favor of every appropriation bill for the war in Iraq. She opposed the troop surge in February 2007.[13] October 10 is the 283rd day of the year (284th in leap years). ... For album titles with the same name, see 2002 (album). ...


Hispanic Caucus controversy

In February 2006, Sanchez withdrew from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus's political action committee, along with 5 other members, because the caucus chairman, Joe Baca, authorized political contributions to members of his family who were running for state and local offices in California.[14] Sanchez and other CHC members also claim that Baca was improperly elected chairman of the caucus in November 2006 because the vote failed to use secret ballots, as required in the group's bylaws.[15] On January 31, 2007, Sanchez quit the CHC because she claimed that Baca repeatedly treated the group's female members with disrespect. Other female lawmakers have made the same complaint about Baca.[16] In the election for caucus chairman, only one female member of the 23-member Caucus voted to support Baca's candidacy.[17] For the Manfred Mann album, see 2006 (album). ... // About the CHC The Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) is comprised of 21 Members of Congress of Hispanic descent. ...

According to Sanchez and Hilda Solis, Baca also called Sanchez "a whore" when he was speaking to other lawmakers.[18][19] Baca denied the charge. Politico.com reported that Sanchez claimed California Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez heard the comment from Baca and repeated it to Sanchez, yet Núñez claimed not to recall any such comment.[20] Sanchez, however, claimed after the article was published that she had never mentioned Núñez to Politico.com.[21] Hilda Solis Hilda L.

Political ambitions

According to Roll Call, "Sanchez continues to give serious consideration to running for governor in 2010, as well as for the Senate, should Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) choose not to seek a fourth term."[22] In November 2005, she opened an exploratory committee called People for Loretta 2010.[23] Barbara Levy Boxer (born November 11, 1940) is an American politician and the current junior U.S. Senator from the State of California. ...
