Kate Sanchez

Republican

State Assembly · Assembly District 71

In office
2022–present
BiographyReporting (Tier 3) · reviewed

Kate Sanchez, born in 1988, has represented Assembly District 71 since 2022, when she succeeded Randy G. Voepel. A politician and businesswoman, Sanchez says she is a Hispanic working mother. Shortly after taking office, she introduced two bills: one focused on crime and public safety, and the other on education. She was also barred from joining the California Latino Legislative Caucus. In her second term, she introduced a bill prohibiting transgender women from participating in California Interscholastic Federation team sports.

THE PATH TO OFFICE

Sanchez began serving in the Assembly in 2022 after succeeding Voepel in the 71st District. Shortly after taking office, she introduced two bills. The first focused on crime and public safety, while the second focused on education.

Sanchez was barred from joining the California Latino Legislative Caucus, which is made up only of Democrats. She says she is a Hispanic working mother.

Her documented Assembly record thus includes her succession of Voepel, the introduction of bills concerning crime and public safety and education, and her exclusion from the caucus.

THE RECORD

Sanchez’s first crime and public-safety proposal addressed the handling of human trafficking cases. It would prevent human trafficking cases from being handled by multiple prosecutors.

Her second bill introduced shortly after she took office focused on education. Its specific provisions are not described in the available account.

In her second term, Sanchez introduced a bill prohibiting transgender women from participating in California Interscholastic Federation team sports. The proposal would restrict participation by transgender women in those team sports.

THE POLICY SIGNATURE

The proposals documented in Sanchez’s Assembly record concern crime and public safety, education, and participation in California Interscholastic Federation team sports. The human-trafficking bill would prevent multiple prosecutors from handling a case. Her other early bill focused on education, while her second-term sports bill would prohibit transgender women from participating in the specified team sports.

Sanchez says she is a Hispanic working mother, and she was barred from joining the California Latino Legislative Caucus. Her documented legislative proposals include one measure governing the prosecutorial handling of human trafficking cases, one education bill and one restriction on participation in California Interscholastic Federation team sports.
