Voted nay on H.R. 7769 (Rescissions Act of 2025 (CPB Defunding)) on 2025-03-20: Sánchez voted nay on legislation to claw back funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The CWA opposed this bill, noting it undermines the vital local stations that deliver news, emergency alerts, educational programming, and community resources. The vote was consistent with her 100% CWA score and progressive advocacy.

Voted nay on H.R. 22 (SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility)) on 2025-04-10: Sánchez voted nay on legislation requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Heritage Action, which gave her a 0% lifetime score, supported the bill. Her CA-38 district is majority-minority (60% Hispanic) with 32.5% foreign-born residents and 88.4% citizenship — meaning documentation requirements could disproportionately burden her constituents. The bill passed 220-208 along party lines.

Voted nay on H.R. 9745 (Government Funding Continuing Resolution (November 2025 Shutdown Deal)) on 2025-11-13: Sánchez voted against the Republican-led continuing resolution to end the 40-day government shutdown.

Voted nay on H.R. 7147 (Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2026) on 2026-03-27: Sánchez voted nay on the DHS funding bill during the record-long agency shutdown. In her April 2026 statement, she welcomed the final DHS funding deal but 'vow[ed] to continue fighting ICE abuses.' Her CA-38 district's 32.5% foreign-born population and her consistent opposition to ICE expansions make DHS funding a core constituent concern. She joined most House Democrats opposing the GOP-drafted DHS appropriations.

The resolution failed 219-212 with only 4 Democratic nays.

Voted nay on H.R. 23 (Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act (ICC Sanctions)) on 2025-01-09: Sánchez voted nay on legislation to sanction the International Criminal Court for issuing arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crimes. The bill passed 243-140 largely along party lines. Her nay vote placed her in the Democratic mainstream on ICC sanctions while creating cross-pressure with her AIPAC donor relationship ($32,322 in the 2024 cycle). AIPAC strongly supported the bill. Sánchez's opposition was not among the small number of Democrats who voted yea.

Her CA-38 district is 60% Hispanic, with 32.5% foreign-born (240,000 people), and 59% of households speaking a non-English primary language — among the most heavily immigrant districts in the country. The vote was both party-aligned and constituent-aligned for a district where mass detention and deportation have direct, widespread impact on families and communities.

Voted nay on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) — House final passage) on 2025-07-03: Sánchez voted nay on the GOP reconciliation bill projected to add $3.4 trillion to deficits and cut approximately $1 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP. She called it 'One Big Ugly Bill' during floor debate and released a statement saying it would 'hurt children and families.' The CWA, which gave her a 100% score for 2025, opposed the bill. Her CA-38 district has 7.6–10.1% poverty, median household income of $99,648, and thousands of residents reliant on Medicaid and SNAP. Only 2 Republicans voted nay. The vote was both party-aligned and constituent-aligned.
