@XavierBecerra
Husband, father, and candidate for Governor. Former HHS Secretary, CA Attorney General, Congressman & Assemblymember. Running to protect the California Dream.
I’m running to be the next Governor of California. As AG I took on Trump – and won. As HHS Secretary, I took on Big Pharma – and won. It’s time to do it again for California. Let’s rebuild the California Dream for everyone. Join our team: xavierbecerra2026.com
The Trump administration is not protecting American lives. They are endangering them—and California cannot wait for Washington to come to its senses.

Five PP clinics in CA are closing — not because need is down, but because Trump’s GOP gutted their funding. This is what a national abortion ban looks like: one clinic, one community at a time. We’re not going to stand by and let it happen. sfchronicle.com/politics/artic…
As California’s next Governor, I will make sure we build our way out of this affordability crisis. We will make housing more available and affordable.

People have been preaching the demise of California for years, but we just went from the 5th largest economy in the world to the 4th. We are a prospering state, but right now, not every family is feeling it. It's why I am running for Governor.
Absolutely heartbreaking news that three LASD deputies have died in a facility explosion. Painfully, we extend our deepest condolences to their families. Let’s remember, everyone who wears the badge puts their life in harm’s way everyday and in every way to protect us.

Trump’s HHS just broke the law to hand ICE private Medicaid data — risking millions of families’ health and safety. Now, seeing a doctor could mean getting deported. That’s not policy. That’s cruelty. apnews.com/article/immigr…
When I ran HHS, we expanded coverage and lowered costs. Now Trump’s allies in Congress are driving ACA premiums up again — and Californians will pay the price. In Sacramento, I’ll fight to make health care more affordable and accessible for every family. cnbc.com/2025/07/11/aca…
This is horrific language that must be condemned across the political spectrum. The rise in hate is scary to witness, if we don’t call it out, it will only grow. yahoo.com/news/ann-coult…
No arrests. No answers. Just masked agents and National Guard troops intimidating immigrant families in MacArthur Park. These are fear tactics, and they have nothing to do with public safety. Californians deserve better.
Armored vehicles. Tactical gear. Military-grade weapons. All for the show. This isn't security—it's intimidation. And it has no place in our communities. latimes.com/california/sto…
As the former HHS Secretary, I’ve seen what happens when Medicaid is gutted. Clinics close. Doctors leave. People suffer. These aren’t abstract numbers. These are real lives at risk. We deserve better.
Senate Republicans just voted to slash Medicaid and food assistance for thousands in California—trading vital aid for tax breaks for billionaires. It's a cruel choice that puts the ultra-wealthy first. This fight isn’t over. We won’t stop pushing back.

Heartbroken for the firefighters and first responders ambushed near Coeur d’Alene today. This senseless violence has no place anywhere. We’re holding their families, colleagues, and the entire Idaho community in our prayers tonight.

Big win for health care & our wallets: SCOTUS upholds Obamacare’s no-cost preventive care. As AG, I defended the ACA to SCOTUS — and won. As HHS Secretary, I defended preventive care again — and we won. From cancer screenings to HIV prevention, these services stay protected.
Breaking News: The Supreme Court upheld part of the Affordable Care Act that requires insurance companies to offer some preventive care at no cost to patients. nyti.ms/40fTjiv
This decision threatens the future of Planned Parenthood in states across our nation. Now more than ever, we need a Congress willing to protect reproductive rights. I’ll do it as Governor for California, but we should do it for all Americans. cnn.com/2025/06/26/pol…
Three years ago, SCOTUS ripped away a fundamental freedom. Since Dobbs, women have been denied care, doctors criminalized, and extremists push bans nationwide. As Governor, I'll keep California a sanctuary for choice — and fight to restore rights for all.
The vast majority of Americans, no matter their politics, do not want another endless war. Donald Trump is driving us there, without the approval of Congress or the blessing of the American people.
His name is Alex Padilla — the first Latino to ever represent our great state in the U.S. Senate — but you knew that, didn’t you?
