Here at Democratic Values, we wanted to make sure you heard that our friend Xavier Becerra is running to be the next governor of California. His message is below:

Hi, John, I’m Xavier Becerra, and I hope you’ll give me a moment to share why I’m running to be California’s next governor.

I’ve spent my whole career taking on Donald Trump and the GOP – and winning.

When Trump attacked Californians, I sued him 122 times as Attorney General – and won. When Republicans tried to gut the Affordable Care Act, I took them to the Supreme Court – and won. When Big Pharma was ripping off Americans, I negotiated lower drug prices – and won.

Now, I’m running for governor because I know what it takes to win tough fights – and deliver for working families.

If you want a fighter who will stand up to Trump and the GOP and get California back on track, I hope you’ll split a donation today between my campaign and Democratic Values – every dollar we raise today will help us build the grassroots movement we need to win.

My family came here with $12 to pursue the California Dream. I was born and raised by my parents in Sacramento, where they taught my siblings and me the value of hard work.

Despite those humble beginnings, they were able to own a home, send the four of us kids to college or the military, and set aside enough to retire with dignity.

To me, that’s the California Dream – and that’s what I’m fighting to protect.

Because today, despite having the largest economy in the country, that dream of owning a home, raising a family, and retiring with dignity is all too hard for Californians to attain. That’s why I’m promising to build our state’s economy, create opportunities and lower costs for working families, and protect the California we all love.

John, I’ve spent most of my life serving the people of California in the state legislature, Congress, as Attorney General, and then as the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

After a lot of consideration and thoughtful conversations with my wife, Carolina, and our three daughters, one thing became clear: I am not done serving our state.

It’s time for California to rise and build. I’m ready to lead our state at this critical moment, and I’m humbly asking you to join me.

Please split a donation of $5 – or anything at all – to my campaign and Democratic Values now to invest in my campaign for governor and our shared future as Californians.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Let’s keep fighting,

Xavier Becerra
