“As a leader within our caucus, Rep.

Sanchez, who was sworn in to his third term on opening day of the 2015 Legislative Session has been a strong supporter of education issues. He is committed to early childhood initiatives and improving access to preschool programs, including school readiness and additional preschool slots.
“I am honored to serve in this important new role on the Education Committee,” Rep. Sanchez said. “Having served on this committee during the last few years, I have heard from teachers, parents and students about what’s important to them. While we have made significant improvements on education programs, much more needs to be done. There will be challenges ahead, but I am looking forward to an extremely productive legislative session.”
