Xavier Becerra, a seasoned public servant with over 35 years of experience including stints as California’s attorney general and U.S. health secretary, is now racing to become California’s next governor. After a slow start, his campaign surged when rival Democrat Eric Swalwell dropped out amid serious allegations, allowing Becerra to consolidate the Democratic vote. He’s positioning himself as the most qualified to lead, pledging to fight back against Trump’s policies with over 120 lawsuits filed during his time as AG. If elected, he’d declare emergencies to tackle soaring energy prices and the housing crisis, freeze home insurance rates, and become the first Latino governor in over 130 years — a historic milestone for California’s diverse electorate.
