Biography
Linda Teresa Sánchez, born on January 28, 1969, in Orange, California, is an American politician and former labor lawyer serving as the U.S. Representative for California's 38th congressional district. She was first elected to Congress in 2002, representing the 39th district, and has been a member of the Democratic Party throughout her tenure. Sánchez is the younger sister of former U.S. Representative Loretta Sánchez; together, they are the first sisters to have served simultaneously in Congress.
Raised in a working-class family by Mexican immigrant parents—her father, Ignacio, an industrial machinist, and her mother, Maria, an elementary school teacher—Sánchez was instilled with a strong work ethic and commitment to community service. She is a proud mother to her son, Joaquín, born in 2009, and they reside with their dog, Scully.
