The application was taken by Cindy Hinojosa, wife of Texas Democratic Party chairman Gilbert Hinojosa, a former county judge himself.

Sanchez, who has in the past voted as a Republican, has run for city commissioner and mayor (nonpartisan offices) is a past member of the Brownsville Public Utility Board.
