Dennis Sanchez is a lifelong Central Coast resident whose life is rooted in faith, family, and hard work. Raised in a Christian family in Castroville, Dennis lost his father at a young age and was taught early to step up, work hard, and take responsibility.

By age twelve, Dennis was working at a cemetery, where he learned that serving others, especially in their most difficult moments-was a sacred duty grounded in dignity, compassion, and respect. Those values have guided him ever since. Dennis trained in law enforcement with the Salinas Police Department, built a career in construction and private security, and became a small business owner and regional manager with over 30 years of experience. A father of five, much of it as a single dad, Dennis understands sacrifice, perseverance, and the importance of strong families.

Dennis is running for the California State Assembly to bring common sense, accountability, and real-life experience back to Sacramento-focused on public safety, small businesses, infrastructure, and protecting California families.
