I haven't looked into Becerra much. He was so low in the polls. He has experience. Anyone have opinions on him?

The UCLA Voting Rights Project and former Attorney General Xavier Becerra have asked the California Supreme Court to force Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco to return 650,000 seized ballots, claiming the Republican sheriff’s ongoing voter fraud investigation is a ploy to bolster his campaign for governor.

I am that fighter, and have a proven record facing and winning against Donald Trump, having sued him 122 times in fact as California’s Attorney General

Becerra has spent 35 years serving California– from the State Assembly to the U.S. Congress, as California’s Attorney General, and the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Throughout his career, he has focused on one thing: Doing what’s right and building lasting change for Californians.

As a member of Congress, Becerra saw how many families lacked access to quality, affordable healthcare, so he worked hard to help pass the Affordable Care Act (ACA), extending coverage to millions of Californians.

As Attorney General, Becerra led the charge against the Trump Administration’s unlawful actions as they threatened our rights and freedoms. Becerra took Trump to court 122 times and won, never shying away from the hard fights and delivering time and again for Californians..

And as United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, Becerra lowered Californians’ costs by negotiating down prescription drug prices for the first time in American history.
