Representative Linda Sánchez (D-CA)

Mark Bloomfield welcomes Representative Linda Sánchez (D-CA), Chair Emeritus of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and a member of the Ways & Means Committee, about the “Economic Policy Challenges for Latinos Today”.

Representative Sánchez currently serves as the Ways & Means Committee, the first Latina to do so. When she became Vice Chair of the Democratic Caucus, she was the first Latina elected to a leadership position in the US Congress. Her family and friends will tell you that she’s never stopped “kicking ass for the working class”.

Representative Sánchez is passionate about issues relating to education, small businesses, trade policy and immigration. And she is one of the few women to have played in the Congressional Baseball Game and now manages the Democrats’ team.
