About Magali Sanchez-Hall
Magali’s life has been shaped by resilience, faith, and an unwavering sense of purpose. Brought to the United States as a young girl and an undocumented immigrant, she faced immense challenges as a single mother raising three children on her own. She endured the hardships of domestic violence, poverty, and the constant uncertainty of her immigration status. Yet through every obstacle, Magali refused to give up. With strength drawn from her church community and the protections provided by the Violence Against Women Act, she secured legal residency and began rebuilding her life—guided by courage, faith, and determination.
Faith was the foundation that helped Magali move forward. Guided by her Lutheran church and mentors who recognized her light and potential, she embraced education as a path to empowerment. She earned her GED, went on to graduate from UCLA with a Bachelor’s degree in Chicana/o Studies, and later achieved a Master’s in Public Policy. Along the way, she became not only a survivor, but a scholar, advocate, and leader.
Professionally, Magali has dedicated her career to advancing equity and opportunity. She has worked on workforce development initiatives, environmental justice projects, and policies to expand access for underserved communities. Her leadership has always been grounded in the same principles that carried her through her most difficult times: compassion, service, and the belief that every person deserves dignity and opportunity.

She knows firsthand how critical it is to have access to shelters, legal support, and people who will stand by you in times of crisis.

Environmental Justice & Clean Air
Living in Wilmington, one of California’s most polluted communities, Magali has seen how environmental injustice directly harms families. She has dedicated her career to advancing environmental justice and green jobs, and in the Assembly, she will hold polluters accountable, push for investments in clean energy, and deliver resources to frontline communities like her own. For Magali, clean air and safe neighborhoods are not luxuries—they are rights every family deserves.

Magali knows the struggles of working families because she has lived them—balancing multiple jobs, raising children on her own, and fighting for stability. She believes in an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few. In the Assembly, she will champion higher wages, stronger worker protections, more affordable housing, and support for small businesses.
