Former Health Secretary Xavier Becerra, a key member of the Biden administration, has thrown his hat into the ring to become California's next governor. With a crowded field of Democratic candidates, Becerra's experience in healthcare policy and his role in the Biden cabinet could be major assets in the race. As the Golden State navigates ongoing challenges in healthcare and governance, Becerra's candidacy is likely to focus on issues like affordable healthcare, Medicaid expansion, and public health policy.
