What they stand for
Sánchez has spent years focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01School environments should be free from bullyingSánchez has sponsored the Safe Schools Improvement Act in multiple congresses, legislation that would require school districts to adopt codes of conduct prohibiting bullying and harassment, including on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, and religion. The bill has drawn broad co-sponsorship across successive legislative sessions (H.R.1810, H.R.6031).
- 02Federal immigration law should provide citizenship pathwaySánchez sponsored the U.S. Citizenship Act (H.R.3194), legislation that would establish a pathway to citizenship and make changes to the legal immigration system. The bill drew more than 100 co-sponsors in the congress in which it was introduced.
- 03School counselors should be more widely deployedSánchez has sponsored the Put School Counselors Where They're Needed Act (H.R.3567), a reintroduced measure that would direct federal resources toward placing school counselors in underserved schools, addressing student access to counseling services.
