    Trade adjustment assistance
    Nay3.png On June 12, 2015, the House rejected the trade adjustment assistance (TAA) measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015—by a vote of 126-302. Trade adjustment assistance (TAA) is a federal program providing American workers displaced by foreign trade agreements with job training and services. The measure was packaged with trade promotion authority (TPA), also known as fast-track authority. TPA is a legislative procedure that allows Congress to define "U.S. negotiating objectives and spells out a detailed oversight and consultation process for during trade negotiations. Under TPA, Congress retains the authority to review and decide whether any proposed U.S. trade agreement will be implemented," according to the Office of the United States Trade Representative. Sanchez was one of 144 Democrats to vote against the bill.[10][11]
    Trade promotion authority
    Nay3.png On June 12, 2015, the House passed the trade promotion authority (TPA) measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015 —by a vote of 219-211. TPA gives the president fast-track authority to negotiate trade agreements sent to Congress without the opportunity for amendment or filibuster. Although the House approved TPA, it was a largely symbolic vote given the measure was part of a package trade bill including trade adjustment assistance (TAA), which was rejected earlier the same day. Sanchez was one of 157 Democrats to vote against the measure.[12][13]
    Trade promotion authority second vote
    Nay3.png After the trade adjustment assistance (TAA) and trade promotion authority (TPA) did not pass the House together on June 12, 2015, representatives voted to authorize TPA alone as an amendment to HR 2146—the Defending Public Safety Employees' Retirement Act—on June 18, 2015. The amendment passed by a vote of 218-208, with all voting members of the House maintaining his or her original position on TPA except for Ted Yoho (R-Fla.). Sanchez was one of 158 Democrats to vote against the amendment.[14][15]
    Trade adjustment assistance second vote
    Yea3.png The House passed HR 1295—the Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015—on June 25, 2015, by a vote of 286-138. The Senate packaged trade adjustment assistance (TAA) in this bill after the House rejected the TAA measure in HR 1314—the Trade Act of 2015. Along with trade promotion authority (TPA), which Congress passed as part of HR 2146—the Defending Public Safety Employees' Retirement Act—TAA became law on June 29, 2015. Sanchez was one of 175 Democrats to vote in favor of HR 1295.[16][17]

HR 3460 prohibited "the President, prior to January 21, 2017, from: limiting the application of specified sanctions on Iran or refraining from applying any such sanctions; or removing a foreign person (including entities) listed in Attachments 3 or 4 to Annex II of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPA) from the list of designated nationals and blocked persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the Department of the Treasury."

The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos."

    In addition, Sanchez voted for the "Cash for Clunkers" bill.[76] According to a June 2009 Rasmussen Reports poll, 54 percent of likely U.S. voters opposed Cash for Clunkers, while 35 percent supported it.[77]

    ✓ Sanchez endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic primary in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.[82]

    See also: Endorsements for Hillary Clinton


    Immigration[edit]

    Sanchez said on September 8, 2014, that she was disappointed in President Barack Obama following his announcement that he would delay taking any executive action related to immigration until after the 2014 elections. Obama had previously said that he would address the issue by the end of the summer. Sanchez said, "So when President Obama said to us — in particular the Hispanic Caucus — ‘I’m going to get something done and you’ll know by August,’ it is a disappointment, it is a frustration... We should be getting it done now instead of after the election, so, yes, of course we’re disappointed in the president."[83]

    Sanchez went on to shift most of the blame for a lack of immigration reform on House Republicans. She said, "While the president has disappointed, the real reality is that the House Republicans have refused to work with us to move a bill that would solve this issue."[83]

    “
    • Climate Change: One of the most important issues that I have been focused on in the Congress is protecting the environment and addressing climate change. That is why I’m proud that in just three days, 155 countries, including the U.S. will sign the Paris Agreement. This agreement will foster global collaboration for achieving more sustainable energy goals. - See more at: http://www.loretta.org/issues/climate-change#sthash.ECZ4iX3D.dpuf
    • Education: Congresswoman Sanchez has worked tirelessly to address our students’ needs by supporting early education, vital after-school programs, and by helping school districts connect with federal funding. A Head Start child herself, Loretta has become a symbol of the fair shot at success that all children deserve from their earliest of days. Every year Rep. Sanchez has fought to ensure full funding, urging Congressional Leadership to allocate $10.1 billion to the program. - See more at: http://www.loretta.org/issues/education#sthash.YYxoDF2W.dpuf
    • Human rights: Loretta firmly believes that American foreign policy should be based on our bedrock values of democracy and human rights. Congress and the President have taken historic steps forward in promoting the cause of fairness and equality at home and abroad. Nowhere is this more evident than in Loretta’s work as a champion of religious freedom and free speech in Vietnam. - See more at: http://www.loretta.org/issues/human-rights#sthash.Mndoev4d.dpuf
    • Defense and Homeland Security: Congresswoman Sanchez is committed to protecting America and its citizens at home and abroad. She has been a staunch supporter of the men and women in uniform who so bravely serve our nation bravely. Congresswoman Sanchez currently serves as Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces having oversight of all Army and Air Force programs. Congresswoman Sanchez is also a member of the Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, overseeing our nation’s strategic weapons, ballistic missile defense, space programs, and Department of Energy national security programs. - See more at: http://www.loretta.org/issues/defense-and-homeland-security#sthash.spPCr7us.dpuf[100]

    Sanchez's campaign website listed the following issues:[101]

    • Education


    Excerpt: "When Congresswoman Sanchez is at home in Orange County, some of the most important work she does is on behalf of our local schools. Since taking office, she has made multiple visits to each and every public school in the 47th Congressional District and has learned first-hand what Orange County's schools really need - more teachers, classrooms, and resources."
    • Homeland Security
    Excerpt: "Rep. Sanchez is the most senior female member of the House Homeland Security Committee, where she has served since the committee's institution and has emerged as an expert on intelligence and counterterrorism issues."
    • Law Enforcement
    Excerpt: "The key to a strong community is the rule of law, and for that we need strong law enforcement. Loretta firmly believes in this principle, which is why she has been a solid and consistent advocate for law enforcement in Congress."
    • Military/Defense Issues
    Excerpt: "Loretta is the ranking female member and a senior Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, and has been a vocal advocate for U.S. soldiers serving around the world, particularly those serving in combat zones. She personally worked to change the law to ensure that active duty Reservists serving in Iraq had access to TRICARE, the military healthcare system."
    • Healthcare
    Excerpt: "Congresswoman Sanchez is a firm believer that every American, and particularly every child, should have access to quality medical care. She was a proud supporter the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) Reauthorization bill, which was signed into law by President Obama on February 4, 2009."

    Congressional Personal Gain Index graphic.png
    See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)

    The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
    It consists of two different metrics:

    PGI: Change in net worth[edit]

    See also: Changes in Net Worth of U.S. Senators and Representatives (Personal Gain Index) and Net worth of United States Senators and Representatives
    Net Worth Metric graphic.png

    Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Sanchez's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $453,005 and $5,529,997. That averages to $2,991,501, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic representatives in 2012 of $5,700,168.36. Sanchez ranked as the 106th most wealthy representative in 2012.[117] Between 2004 and 2012, Sanchez's calculated net worth[118] increased by an average of 144 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[119]

    Loretta Sanchez Yearly Net Worth
    YearAverage Net Worth
    2004$238,837
    2012$2,991,501
    Growth from 2004 to 2012:1,153%
    Average annual growth:144%[120]
    Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[121]
    The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.

    PGI: Donation Concentration Metric[edit]

    See also: The Donation Concentration Metric (U.S. Congress Personal Gain Index)

    Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Sanchez received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Lawyers/Law Firms industry.
