He’s a good guy who cares about Californians.

His 2026 platform even explicitly promises to build California toward Medicare for All!

If the only reason you can state for me to vote for any of those 3 is a R might win, then you are supporting very weak candidates and I'm voting for an experience and proven fighter, that is #XavierBecerra give him a look, you might like what you see.

Here is an in depth interview with #XavierBecerra at the Commonwealth Club in SF. Serious questions and answers. Please pass it along. Add to other social media if you use it. www.commonwealthclub.org/events/2026-...

And let me put it this way. There isn't a snowballs chance in hell I'll vote for any billionaire owned candidate like Swalwell, Mahan or Steyer. They are all AWFUL!!!!

We need the proven fighter #XavierBecerra sued trump 1.0 over 120 times and kept winning.

Let me put it this way @malacandra.me you will never convince me to vote for a billionaire owned candidate like that doofus Swalwell or Steyer. The poll top spot isn't a person BUT UNDECIDED. Fight to get the good candidates like #XavierBecerra in front of the voters.

We asked the tough questions, and now we wait for the commitments. ✊🏽 At yesterday’s #WinningCA 2026 Gubernatorial Candidates Forum, our members put the candidates on the record.

A messy governor's race in California raises Democratic fears of a potential loss Democrats have run California for years, but in a nationally critical election the party is being confronted by the limits of its own power: the race for governor is out of control.

@ericswalwell.bsky.social &
@antonio2026.bsky.social & @bettyyeeforca.bsky.social & @katieporterca.bsky.social & @mattmahansj.bsky.social & @realtomsteyer.bsky.social & @casuperintendent.bsky.social & #XavierBecerra meet & narrow it down to 2 please! Don't cause a 2 #Republican #CAgovernor runoff!

So @michaelsteele.bsky.social When do you have the other CA Gov candidates on?

Eric has 1 lawsuit against 47 on behalf of himself. You know who sued tRump 1.0 122 and won? #XavierBecerra as the CA AG. Incredible record protecting Californians and often ALL Americans. Will @ms.now be fair?

This saga is the reason if CA wants a #DreamTeam to fight MAGA corruption then #XavierBecerra as Governor and @robbonta.bsky.social as AG are the very best choices this year. cc: @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social @symonedsanders.bsky.social @chrislintott.bsky.social @ms.now

So @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social @lastwordmsnow.bsky.social will you be following up with #XavierBecerra of the UCLA Voting Rights Project on how their suit at the CA Supreme Court has likely stopped Chad Bianco in his tracks? Bet they don't want the Riverside corruption exposed.

Hey @theweekendprime.bsky.social when are you having the other #CAGovernor candidates on to talk about their campaigns? When is @katieporterca.bsky.social going to be on your show? When is #XavierBecerra, former AG who could actually explain how CA law can keep ICE at bay. And the others too?

Becerra, voting rights group challenge GOP sheriff's ballot seizure in state Supreme Court The sheriff had no authority "to seize hundreds of thousands of lawfully cast ballots," lawyers for the UCLA Voting Rights Project and former state Attorney General Xavier Becerra argued Thursday.

Hey @michaelsteele.bsky.social @symonedsanders.bsky.social @aliciamenendez.bsky.social when do you have the other CA Gov candidates on? Fairness matters.

Maybe start with #XavierBecerra who is taking #ChadBianco to the CA Supreme Court. He's the fighter CA needs. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

California voters sue demanding GOP sheriff return 650,000 seized ballots Riverside County voters are accusing Bianco of violating state law by improperly seizing their ballots and asking a court to “immediately order the protection of these election materials.”

More lawsuits to get the Riverside ballots returned and stop this foolish MAGA election stunt. Democratic Gov candidate #XavierBecerra will be seeing Bianco and his attorney in the CA Supreme Court for a real debate that matters. @democracydonna.bsky.social www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Are you listening @katieporterca.bsky.social @realtomsteyer.bsky.social #XavierBecerra @antonio2026.bsky.social @mattmahansj.bsky.social @bettyyeeforca.bsky.social @casuperintendent.bsky.social? There is a war in the USA. We need party unity, not ego. @democrats.org @cademocrats.bsky.social

UCLA Voting Rights Project Files Petition with California Supreme Court to Stop Illegal Vote Count By Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco – Voting Rights Project

Meanwhile @democracydocket.com the UCLA Voting Rights Project with former Attorney General #XavierBecerra, has filed a lawsuit with the CA Supreme Court. CA has strong, specific laws protecting ballots. Is there a prediction market for whether Bianco ends up in jail? vrp.ucla.edu/ucla-voting-...

Look up California's Truth, Trust and Values Acts. They address these issues with LE and ICE. Written during trump 1.0 they were all successfully defended in court by hopefully CA's next Governor the former AG #XavierBecerra

@cademocrats.bsky.social take your corporate thumb off the #CAGov race. Get all 8 Dems seen, heard statewide. Voters need to decide. Don't let Mike Murphy & his billionaires decide who wins 😟 #XavierBecerra @bettyyeeforca.bsky.social

#XavierBecerra

_By Julia Barajas_ _Originally published by LAist_ At a political summit this summer, California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra briefly broke into Spanish in response to a journalist’s question: Why should voters choose him over a fresh face? Becerra could have touted his extensive government experience. He’s a former member of Congress and state attorney general. He also served as Health and Human Services secretary in the Biden administration. But Becerra, the son of Mexican immigrants, reflected on his parents’ labor, in connection to California’s current plight. “My dad used to say to me: ‘Mijo, si me puedo levantar en la mañana e ir a trabajar, va a ser un buen dia,’” he said. Becerra immediately translated for English speakers: “‘My son, if I get up in the morning and go to work, it’s going to be a good day.’” Becerra’s father was a construction worker, he explained. So for him, missing out on a day’s work could mean not having enough money to put food on the table. If elected, Becerra pledged, he’ll work to ensure that Californians have access to affordable healthcare and housing; that they can send their kids to college; and that they “retire in dignity.” A clip of that conversation is now part of Becerra’s social media strategy, which includes _a TikTok account devoted to Spanish speakers_. “For some people, it’ll be easier for them to really understand [my platform] if they hear it in Spanish,” Becerra said. “I want to elevate them,” he added. “They deserve to be as informed as anybody else.” On social media, Becerra makes being bilingual look easy. But honing his mother tongue, he told LAist, has been anything but. ## A lifelong learner Becerra grew up in a bilingual home in Sacramento. Until college, he thought his Spanish was pretty good. But when he enrolled in a Spanish class as an undergrad at Stanford University, Becerra discovered he had a lot of room left for growth. So he studied abroad at Spain’s University of Salamanca, where he broadened his understanding of the language’s many varieties. Still, his ability to communicate complex ideas in Spanish wasn’t seamless. When Becerra was first elected to public office in his early thirties, Spanish language news organizations began asking for interviews. “My words weren’t always the most eloquent,” he said, recalling on-camera stumbles. “I found out how important it was to be able to communicate both in English _and_ Spanish, and I have since worked hard to try to make sure I can.” Today, Spanish speakers around the world compliment Becerra’s fluency. “I take that as a badge of honor,” he said. “I wish I could do it in more than two languages.” L.A. Mayor Karen Bass sits next to former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa in a parade in 2022, during Bass’ first campaign for mayor. (Kyle Stokes/ LAist) ## Candidates weigh in on California’s linguistic diversity Other candidates running in the 2026 race to become California’s next governor said they share Becerra’s goals of connecting with voters in their preferred tongue. (LAist reached out to all of the declared candidates and received responses from two.) Former state controller Betty Yee is vying for the Democratic nomination. In an email, spokesperson Marcey Brightwell said Yee is “engaging trusted community leaders to facilitate in-language discussions in our diverse communities.” These conversations involve citizens across the state, Brightwell added, including Latinos in the Central Valley and those of Vietnamese descent in Orange County. Yee has done a little Spanish-language social media engagement, but “she is eager to expand [this effort] in multiple languages as the campaign progresses,” Brightwell said. Antonio Villaraigosa, the former assemblymember and Los Angeles mayor, noted that more than 200 languages are spoken in California. “From the first time I got elected in 1994, I’ve always spoken in English and Spanish,” said Villaraigosa, who is also competing for the Democratic nomination. “And if I could speak Korean, Mandarin or Armenian, I’d do that as well.” Becoming bilingual was also a challenge for him. Though Villaraigosa is of Mexican ancestry, his mother chose not to teach him Spanish to shield him from anti-Latino discrimination and the potential of being placed in remedial classes at school. As a result, Villaraigosa didn’t learn Spanish till he was an adult. To practice, he’d listen to radio and TV programs and watch movies with subtitles. When he tried to strike up conversations with native speakers, most were supportive, he added. But some “people used to make fun of me and say, ‘No, speak in English.’” Villaraigosa persisted. And today, he’s fluent enough to communicate. ## Reclaiming a language Wendy Ramirez, an East L.A. native who is the daughter of Salvadoran immigrants, founded _Spanish Sin Pena_, an online language program and cultural community that helps people with Latin American roots reclaim their Spanish. Part of that work involves acknowledging and celebrating the region’s many dialects, which have been imbued with _Indigenous_ and _African_ tongues. Ramirez also helps Latino professionals — including lawyers, teachers, therapists, nurses and politicians — take their Spanish to new heights. “The population I work with comes from that era where people were punished at school for speaking Spanish,” she said. Like Villaraigosa’s mother, many of her clients’ parents thought it would be best not to pass on their mother tongue. “We’re all healing together,” Ramirez added. “That self-imposed assimilation was an effort to survive.” > “If I could speak Korean, Mandarin or Armenian, I’d do that as well.” > > Antonio Villaraigosa, candidate for California governor, on speaking Spanish and EnglisH ## What it means to speak Spanish in public right now Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court _decided_ to temporarily allow immigration agents to continue treating language as grounds for questioning. According to Justice Brett Kavanaugh, speaking Spanish in public or speaking English “with an accent” is one of the factors that _can be cause for suspicion_. In this context, the California gubernatorial candidates’ use of Spanish is more than just a way to reach multiple constituencies, said Jonathan Rosa, an associate professor at Stanford’s Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity and author of “Looking like a Language, Sounding like a Race: Raciolinguistic Ideologies and the Learning of Latinidad.” “In this political moment, it also has a symbolic meaning,” he said. “It suggests that a political candidate is trying to signal to different audiences that they are taking a stand in opposition to anti-immigrant perspectives … xenophobia, assimilationism and English-only sentiment.” But in the recent past, politicians have used Spanish for different purposes, Rosa noted. During a 2016 Republican _presidential debate_, for instance, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz “used Spanish to test one another’s credentials, to test one another’s _latinidad_ , while promoting anti-immigrant policies,” he said. “It’s important for us to not make sweeping generalizations about the meanings of this language use,” Rosa added, “and to pay attention to how those meanings take shape in context.” To protect themselves in this political climate, some Spanish speakers — including U.S. citizens — have _opted not to speak Spanish in public_. Ramirez won’t be joining them. “At this point in time,” she said, reclaiming Spanish “is really an act of solidarity and of resistance.” **This report is reprinted with permission from Southern California Public Radio. © 2024 Southern California Public Radio.

California Democrats can do better than another entitled white politician like Porter telling what “we” need while living her own elevated lifestyle and chiding anyone that disagrees. #AlexPadilla #BettyYee #XavierBecerra

Wow, media training stat for #KatiePorter. Not a difficult question at all--really no reason for her to lose it. As compared to #TonyThurmond and #XavierBecerra who were total pros and responded with ease.

With moderator KQED Senior Editor Scott Shafer, Secretary Becerra answered questions from students and leaders alike. This was more than a conversation; it was a chance to learn from one of California’s influential voices.
