Sanchez brings decades of public service to the race, including service as Harris County Treasurer and as an at large member of the Houston City Council. He is also a veteran of the United States Air Force and Texas Air National Guard. For Veterans for America First, his military background is an important part of this endorsement. Those who have worn the uniform understand that leadership comes with responsibility.
Public service requires accountability, discipline, respect for taxpayers and an understanding that the people you serve come before the institution. Sanchez served in the United States Air Force before continuing his military service with the Texas Air National Guard. His public career later included citywide service on Houston City Council and 12 years as Harris County Treasurer. His record in county government also gives him direct experience with Harris County finances and operations.
As treasurer, Sanchez held a countywide office responsible for financial administration, and his current campaign has emphasized fiscal responsibility, transparency, public safety and county government accountability. That experience matters to Veterans for America First because veterans know what accountability looks like.
