Congresswoman Linda Sanchez Speaks to a Packed House
On September 23rd, Congresswoman Linda Sanchez spoke to WUFPAC members at a cocktail party. The event was a great success, even though we had to change locations hours before! Sanchez, 34, is the youngest woman in Congress (and the only woman under 40!) spoke to a full house at Howrey Simon law firm about her first nine months in Congress. She discussed Title IX, the obstacles that deter young women from running for office and how having younger women in Congress leads to more women achieving leadership roles. She also told several stories about what it is like to be young, female and Latina in the sea of old, white men in Congress.
