Linda T. Sánchez (born January 28, 1969 in Orange, California), an American politician, has been a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives since 2003, representing the 39th District of California (map). She was born in Orange, California and grew up with six siblings (including fellow Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez), raised by Mexican immigrant parents in Anaheim, California.

Linda Sanchez earned her BA in Spanish in 1991 at the University of California, Berkeley and her Juris Doctor degree in 1995 at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she was an editor of the Chicano-Latino Law Review. She was an attorney specializing in labor law prior to her public service career. She is the younger sister of 47th District Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, who is nine years her senior, making them the first and to date only sister pair to serve in Congress.

Linda Sánchez is considered to be more liberal than her older sister. While Loretta began her political career as a moderate Republican and then switching to the Democratic Party, Linda has always been a Democrat.
