Linda Sánchez made history alongside her sister Loretta as the first pair of sisters to serve simultaneously in Congress, representing neighboring Southern California districts. A former labor attorney who fought for workers' rights before entering politics, she has built a reputation as a progressive champion for working families, immigration reform, and women's equality. Sánchez serves as Vice Chair of the House Democratic Caucus and has been a vocal advocate for comprehensive immigration legislation, drawing on her Mexican-American heritage and legal background to push for pathways to citizenship and protections for undocumented immigrants.
