WIL Luncheon with Congresswoman Linda Sanchez
WIL is excited to welcome back Congresswoman Linda Sanchez who will be sharing what it has been like to work in the current dysfunctional House of Representatives
Linda has seen it all. She has served in Congress since 2004 and was in the House Building during the January 6 riots, hiding in the dark with her desk pushed against the door, her Chief of Staff ready with a baseball bat in case the rioters broke in.
And now she’s living through even worse times, watching her workplace, our House of Representatives, bend its knee to the authoritarian, hateful dictates of Donald Trump. She has many tales to tell.
Linda has been a friend of WIL since she was first elected. Her district includes portions of both Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Linda now serves on the powerful House Committee on Ways and Means, the committee that focuses on writing federal tax law, as well as playing a critical role in federal legislation on trade, Social Security, and Medicare.
As a staunch supporter of women’s reproductive rights, her voice is critical right now.
You do not want to miss hearing Linda speak. She’s blunt, funny and doesn’t pull any punches. She’s been in Congress through many ups and downs, but nothing like what’s happening now.
