Xavier Becerra Announces Bid for California Governor

EXCERPT:

BECERRA: “Hi, I'm Xavier Becerra and you may have heard I am running to be governor of our great state of California. And that's because I watched my parents, a construction worker and a clerical worker, achieve the California Dream. Can we do that today with this affordability crisis? Very tough, but we've taken on these tough fights. California has succeeded in those tough fights and become the economic engine of this country. We can do that, but you need a leader who can be tough. And I've been in those tough fights, whether it was as a member of Congress, when we helped draft and pass the Affordable Care Act, when I was attorney general for our great state of California, and I took on the Trump administration the first time, sued him over 100 times and won, or whether as secretary of Health and Human Services, I took on the pharmaceutical industry and we negotiated lower prescription drug prices for seniors under Medicare. Honestly, look, speeches and fancy announcements, those can wait, right now, what can't wait is that California Dream.”
