The district lies in central Orange County.
Since 1996, Sanchez has been a member of the Democratic Party, and of the moderate/conservative House Blue Dog Coalition.Sanchez chose not to run for re-election to the House in 2016, instead opting to run for the U.S. Senate race in California.
She was defeated by California Attorney General and fellow Democrat Kamala Harris, 61.6% to 38.4%.
Early life and education
Sanchez was born in Lynwood, California, and graduated from Katella High School in Anaheim in 1978. Her father was a unionized machinist, and her mother worked as a secretary. Her Mexican-immigrant parents had seven children, one of whom—Linda Sánchez—also served in Congress, making them the first (and, as of 2021, the only) sisters to serve simultaneously in Congress.
Loretta Sanchez joined the United Food and Commercial Workers when she worked as an ice cream server in high school and received a union scholarship to college. She received her undergraduate degree in economics from Chapman College in Orange in 1982, obtained her MBA from American University in Washington, D.C. in 1984, and was a financial analyst for defense contractor Booz Allen Hamilton until entering the House. 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.
Personal life
Sanchez was married for 14 years to stock broker Stephen Brixey before he filed for divorce on January 15, 2004.
In November 2010, Roll Call and the Orange County Register reported Loretta's engagement to retired Army Colonel Jack Einwechter. Einwechter is currently a lawyer practicing in Washington, D.C. The couple were married on July 16, 2011, in a private ceremony in Santa Ana, California.
Loretta's father, Ignacio ("Nacho"), suffered from Alzheimer's disease since 2001, eventually causing his death in 2018. She appears briefly in the HBO documentary film, The Alzheimer's Project: Caregivers.
The Hispanic Caucus Controversy (see above) was parodied on The Colbert Report on February 7, 2007.
Loretta Sanchez appeared as herself in the September 10, 2007 episode of The Closer entitled "Til Death Do Us Part, Part II". Within the fictional narrative of the show, she was briefly seen on the program Larry King Live being interviewed about a criminal legal case.
While serving as a member of Congress, Sanchez was known for her annual tradition of sending constituents "wacky" "elaborately staged" holiday cards "featuring herself, her family members and her beloved pets." The cards have "cult status in the world of politics." She started in 1998 and continued the tradition through at least 2015. Over 500,000 cards were sent in 2014.
Post-congressional career
In September 2017, it was announced that Sanchez would be the executive producer of a new political drama show called Accidental Candidate, which appeared on NBC. Since leaving the House, she has run unsuccessfully for at least two local offices in California, the Orange County Board of Supervisors and the Rancho Santiago Community College District as a college trustee.
