Sanchez ran twice for the Texas House: in 2020 for HD-67 where he won the Democratic primary runoff but lost to incumbent Jeff Leach (R) with 48.3%, and in 2022 for HD-70 where he finished third in the Democratic primary. He did not file for the 2026 election cycle.
Campaign website (lorenzofortexas.com) is no longer active. Sister District Project lists him as an inactive candidate. HD-70 is now held by incumbent Mihaela Plesa (D), who won in 2022 and 2024 and is running unopposed in the 2026 Democratic primary. Sanchez was endorsed by the Dallas Morning News, Latino Victory Fund, and Run For Something.
