REP. LORETTA SANCHEZ STATEMENT ON SENATOR BOXER RETIREMENT

WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (CA-46) today released the following statement after California Senator Barbara Boxer announced that she would not seek re-election in 2016.

“Senator Barbara Boxer has made history more times than I can count. As a champion of environmental protection, quality public education and women’s rights, Senator Boxer has played a pivotal role in Washington. Above all, Senator Boxer put Californians first and for that our state will be forever grateful.

“It goes without saying that her leadership and presence will be sorely missed. I wish Senator Boxer and her family all my best.”
