The vice-chairwoman of the House Homeland Security Committee and the highest-ranking woman on the House Armed Services Committee in the 111th Congress, Sanchez also holds a dubious political distinction: paparazzi target.
In 2007, the celebrity gossip web site TMZ tried to label her "the Paris Hilton of Washington" while later calling Sanchez "four lattes past hyper" during parties at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
