NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A California congresswoman whose husband was indicted on theft and conspiracy charges in Connecticut cited an “unexpected family matter” Thursday in withdrawing as a candidate for chair of the House Democratic Caucus.

U.S. Rep. Linda Sanchez, now the caucus vice chair, is married to James Sullivan, one of five people indicted on theft and conspiracy charges this week in connection with a public electricity cooperative and $800,000 worth of trips to the Kentucky Derby and other locations.

Sanchez, who represents the 38th District in the Los Angeles area, wrote in a letter to fellow Democrats, “Unfortunately, an unexpected family matter requiring my attention compels me to withdraw my name as a candidate for Chair of the Democratic Caucus.”

She said later Thursday in a statement, “Earlier today I learned that my husband is facing charges in Connecticut. After careful consideration of the time and energy being in leadership demands, I have decided that my focus now needs to be on my son, my family, and my constituents in California.

My last reply was referring to Loretta Sanchez who changed her last name from Brixey for politically correct reasons.

don’t understand why this is disqualifying for a Democrat

they can rape children and get re-elected to the Senate and it’s cool... why is this a deal breaker?

A really embarrassing chapter in CA RINO politics to say the least.

I had just graduated HS (in 91) living in Santa Cruz in my just-awakened-to-conservatism phase...got hooked on C-Span watching B1 Bob roast Demrats. I was a big fan of Randy Cunningham too until he fell to graft...what a shame.

I was born in Alameda County; the first born Californian in my family but I had to leave for greener pastures when I had the chance. I pray that G-d will restore CA at some point. For now Texas is home but I’d come back if things changed.

This is the same woman who committed voter fraud & beat Bob Dornan out of Congress.

Dornan PROVED it, but they told him Too Late.

When Bob Dornan lost his election to this pig Loretta Sanchez, the Speaker of the House was the Drunkard John Boehner or the Rino Paul Ryan. With friends like these who needs enemies.

.
When Bob Dornan lost his election to this pig Loretta Sanchez, the Speaker of the House was Noot Grinchrich.

Noot financed Sanchez’ campaign.

When the husband's indicted,can the wife be far behind? Joint tax returns can be a b*tch.

Partner, Newt Gingrich is one lying liberal Republican that should not even be a Republican.

I will look this up since I used to believe that she won since she had a lot of Illegal Aliens voting in California, which is what I was suspecting in this latest 2018 elections.

We already know that a lot of Puerto Ricans moved to Florida and Texas since they can find jobs here and the Puerto Rican folks that moved off the island are liberal voting folks.
