It’s a big day, friend. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who President Biden has tapped to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is appearing before the Senate for his second confirmation hearing.

AG Becerra has been an unflinching, long-serving champion for the most vulnerable among us, and his appointment is a massive turning point – for the long-term equity of our health care system and keeping all of us safe through COVID-19.

After four years of partisan attacks, we need to turn a corner and come together. That’s why we’re asking: Friend, help us stand united and show AG Becerra just how overwhelming the support for his historic nomination is. Add your name right now.

Right now, we need to get AG Becerra confirmed. He has spent his entire career helping marginalized and middle-class people access the care they deserve.

As a congressman, he helped write the Affordable Care Act, fighting tooth and nail for its passage. Now, as California’s Attorney General, he’s leading the 21-state charge to defend the ACA against attacks in the Supreme Court – to make sure nobody loses coverage during this pandemic and beyond.

AG Becerra isn’t a show-boater, he’s a doer – someone who filed more than 100 lawsuits against the Trump Administration to protect the air we breathe and the health of our loved ones, who took drugmakers to court for their role in the opioid epidemic, who fought to make COVID-19 medical treatments widely accessible and so much more.

That’s the Health and Human Services Secretary that we deserve, especially as COVID-19 continues to rampage through struggling communities.

If you agree, let’s move beyond partisan attacks and make sure AG Becerra knows we’re with him.

Thanks,

Democratic Attorneys General Association
