Kate Sanchez (born November 8, 1988) is an American politician and businesswoman who has served in the California State Assembly from the 71st district since 2023, succeeding Randy G. Voepel.
State Assembly
[edit | edit source]Sanchez introduced two bills shortly after taking office – the first, focused on crime and public safety, would prevent human trafficking cases from being handled by multiple prosecutors. The second focused on education.[1] She was barred from joining the California Latino Legislative Caucus, which is only made up of Democrats. Sanchez says she is a Hispanic working mother.[2]
In her second term, Sanchez introduced a bill prohibiting transgender women from participating in California Interscholastic Federation team sports.[3]
