Leslie Sanchez Biography
Leslie Sanchez is a media entrepreneur, author, and political analyst for CBS News. Recognized as an award-winning expert on trends impacting women and the Hispanic/Latino markets, her insights have delivered winning campaigns for Fortune 100 companies, early stage startups, political candidates, and global non-profits. In 2019, she was also named a Johns Hopkins University Leadership Fellow.
A trailblazer in media, she predicted two seismic political shifts in her critically-acclaimed books - "Los Republicanos" and "You’ve Come a Long Way, Maybe," which details the geopolitical challenges women face on their road to the White House.
Sanchez joined CBS News as a political analyst in 2015, contributing to the Network's streaming news properties and broadcasts, including Election Nights and coverage of primaries, political debates, and conventions. She provides analysis of the White House, Congress and statewide elections, and developed documentary content for CBS News Streaming on immigrant workers in forestry, Latino Republicans in South Texas, and toxic homes caused by Hurricane Harvey. Sanchez has also produced long-form coverage for CBS News Streaming on elite colleges struggling to integrate low-income students and the global rise of Reggaeton music.
For her work, Hispanic Business magazine called her one of the nation’s “100 Most Influential Hispanics,” and the Houston Chronicle named her a “Texas Powerbroker” for being among the most influential Texans in Washington.
Sanchez previously held a number of political and government-related appointments, including director of the White House Initiative on Hispanic Education under former President George W. Bush; legislative aide for a Member on the House Appropriations Committee, and deputy press secretary for the Republican National Committee.
Leslie is a fifth-generation Texan who holds an advanced diploma from the Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo, a BA from George Washington University, and an MBA from Johns Hopkins Carey Business School.
Sanchez served two terms on the boards of Providence Health Foundation, part of the nation’s largest Catholic nonprofit health system, and Nativity School, a high-performing inner-city school in Los Angeles.

Leslie Sanchez Speaking Topics
The electorate is not just voter blocs and special interests; it's people exercising their right to be heard and trying to inject a measure of control over their lives. Younger ethnic voters are challenging party labels, identity politics, and choosing political activism on their terms.
Since its founding, America has moved inexorably west. It is a place where borders are meant to be crossed. The drive for expansion, for discovery, to embrace new challenges that was once geographic is now demographic. The western states represent the “New America,” with all the opportunities implicit in that idea.
From technology to manufacturing, from finance to entertainment, the west is driving innovation in the American ethos. Both Navarrette and Sanchez live in the west. They can speak with familiar intimacy about the trends they see, the changes they have experienced in a way that is both informative and entertaining.
The west has always been more than just a place; as Hollywood has portrayed it to the world it is a state of mind. It is where political and grassroots movements begin. It is the gateway to the emerging markets of the east – China, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia. It’s where, particularly in the Rocky Mountain States and in the southwest, where America is growing. What happens there eventually migrates to the rest of the nation – so everyone from policymakers to business leaders needs to understand how life in this vital region of the United States is changing because that is the way the country will continue to evolve.
Let Sanchez and Navarrette be your guides to the West. From where they stand, they can look far into the distance and see clearly what is over the horizon. Through this interesting and informative on-stage interview program, they look forward to sharing their vision with you.
Hispanics are the largest single minority group in the United States, and their numbers are expected to increase exponentially in this century alone. Leslie Sanchez teaches her audience how to reach this fast-growing segment of the US market, both what to do and what not to do to build a loyal customer base.
