Did you know that Head Start, one of the most popular and effective War on Poverty programs, is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year? In her very personal and heart-felt talk, U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez, (CA-46), who currently serves as a senior member of the U.S. House Armed Services Committee and U.S. Homeland Security Committee, discusses how her Mexican-American mother helped pave her path to the U.S. Congress by enrolling her in the first Head Start class in her community in 1965.
Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez is proud to represent California's 46th Congressional District. Rep. Sanchez began her congressional career in January of 1997 and is currently serving her tenth term in the U.S. House of Representatives. She holds senior positions on the House Armed Services Committee and the House Homeland Security Committee. She is a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and serves as the co-chair of the Immigration Task Force. As the second highest ranking Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee (HASC), Rep. Sanchez is a recognized leader on military and national security issues. She is also a member of the Subcommittee on Strategic Forces. A product of public schools and Head Start, Sanchez is a graduate of Chapman University and American University's MBA program. Prior to serving in Congress, Sanchez worked in the financial markets, with firms including Booz Allen Hamilton and Fieldman Rolapp.
