Reply #16: Sanchez kicked some righteous butt, if I recall correctly [View All]

Beat the incumbent Repug there by the name of Bob Dorman back in 1994 or 1996, I think.

She's a good prospect, especially for Clark as his VP. That ticket could possibly kick ass in defense, draw strong from all minority groups (especially Hispanics), and women would love voting for her, cause she's real and competent. She has a strong domestic background too, and came from very humble circumstances. I think her sister is also a congresswoman, but I'll have to look that up.

(on edit)Looked up Loretta Sanchez sister, Linda Sanchez, who is also a congresswoman. First sister team ever to serve at the same time.
