A Little About Myself.Hi there, I'm Victoria Sanchez, candidate for Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner (ANC) for Single Member District 1B05, which circles Meridian Malcom X Park.
I hope to fight for the opportunity all Washingtonians need to thrive. From healthcare and education to public safety and government accountability, we’ll advance an agenda together that will begin to make our neighborhood and city one that works for all of us. |
What are the ANCs? And where is 1B05?
An ANC is a non-partisan, neighborhood body made up of locally elected representatives called Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners. They are a unique feature of the District's Home Rule Charter, and the Commissioners serve two-year terms without pay.
The ANCs were established to bring government closer to the people, and to bring the people closer to government. The ANCs' main job is to be their neighborhood's official voice in advising the District government (and Federal agencies) on things that affect their neighborhoods. Although they are not required to follow the ANCs' advice, District agencies are required to give the ANCs' recommendations "great weight." Moreover, District law says that agencies cannot take any action that will significantly affect a neighborhood unless they give the affected ANCs 30 days advance notice. This includes zoning, streets, recreation, education, social services, sanitation, planning, safety, budget, and health services.
ANC Single Member District for 1B05 runs along a historic and vibrant area of the District of Columbia
along Meridian Malcom X Park.

ContributionsYeah, I totally get it, there is too much money in politics. But (as I learned) running for an unpaid position and putting your name on a sign doesn't come cheap.

Tell me your priorities!

My priorities are informed by what you hold to be important! Please share what concerns, ideas, or initiatives you would like to see for our neighborhood. I believe the relationship with an ANC should be interactive and iterative, so please tell me what issues are important to you, why they are important, what you like about our neighborhood, and what you think can be improved.
