The LA Times reports that Congresswoman Linda Sanchez is replacing Rep. Zoe Lofgren as the ranking member of the House Ethics Committee. I think that this should be interesting. I find Linda Sanchez to be more on top of policy matters than her sister, Loretta.
Back in June, Linda Sanchez made a statement about the Arizona law and then backtracked a bit in terms of linking the origins of SB 1070 to white supremacists.
I am hopeful that Linda Sanchez takes her new role seriously and doesn’t back down when it comes to ethics issues and the House rules. She is in a position to distinguish herself and play a more serious role than her elder sister.
