Southern California Democratic Congresswomen Linda T. and Loretta Sanchez, the first and only sisters ever elected to Congress, have been quite visible and often controversial on Capitol Hill. With the recent announcement of Linda Sanchez's pregnancy (as an unmarried woman), she has been placed under the microscope, the subject of criticism and many a blog, according to a recent New York Times article.
The article makes an intriguing examination of the Sanchez sisters and the effect Linda Sanchez's pregnancy may have on her political future. Linda Sanchez represents the 39th District, a U-shaped district that sweeps from South Gate and Lynwood on its northwest side, south to Paramount, Lakewood and Cerritos, then back north to Whittier. Loretta Sanchez's 47th District includes the Orange County cities of Santa Ana, Fullerton, Anaheim and Garden Grove.
