“We take this month to celebrate the varied and vast contributions of Latinos to our nation,” said Sanchez. “Latinos are the largest and fastest growing minority population and as we grow as a community we have worked to enhance this country economically and socially. Orange County has a vibrant and active Hispanic community and I am grateful for the privilege to represent them in Congress.”
