Lorenzo Sanchez

A first-generation Mexican American raised in Plano by a single mother who worked two jobs, Lorenzo Sanchez learned early the value of hard work and sacrifice. He attended Plano ISD schools before earning his degree from Loyola University Chicago, where he served as President of the Alpha Kappa Psi Business Fraternity and volunteered as an aide for children with disabilities. After graduation, he returned home to be with his family and built a successful realty business. If elected, he would make history as the first Latino from Collin County and the first openly LGBTQ+ male Democrat elected to the Texas Legislature.
