9. Agreed. Xavier Becerra is rock solid. 68 years old with 35 years in public service...

Tuesday

Beginning in 1986, Becerra's career includes roles as a Deputy Attorney General, California State Assemblyman, U.S. Representative (1993–2017), California Attorney General (2017–2021), and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (2021–2025).

Aside from his career, the man's personal story is also amazing. He grew up in a one-room apartment with his three sisters and two immigrant parents. He was the first in his family to attend college, attending Stanford for both undergrad and law school. The man is 100% legit - one of those individuals all Californians and everyone in our party can and should be very proud to call one of our own.
