A Community-minded Leader for District 13
David Sanchez is an attorney and Wisconsin native raising two children with his wife in Wauwatosa, and he is ready to fight for you in the State Assembly!
Thank you District 13
With over 12,500 votes cast in the August primary election, we came up just 291 votes short of a win. While I’m disappointed our campaign has come to an end, I could not be more proud of what we built together.
During the spring and summer of 2026, I had the privilege of meeting thousands of neighbors, hearing your stories, learning more about the challenges facing our communities, and working alongside an incredible group of volunteers and supporters who believed in our vision for District 13.
To everyone who knocked doors, made calls, hosted events, donated, put up a yard sign, shared our message, or cast a vote for this campaign: thank you. Your support has meant more than I can put into words.
I’ll continue working toward the vision I laid out for District 13 and for Wisconsin, and I hope you’ll continue to be part of it.
Thank you for believing in me, for believing in this campaign, and for everything we accomplished together.
Grateful always,
David Sanchez
