“Congressman Becerra’s vast experience in Congress and the Attorney General’s Office, and his unwavering commitment to California’s values, make him a qualified choice to become California’s next Attorney General,” said Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra.

“As we approach a Trump presidency, we need an Attorney General who will stand up to his administration and protect Californians from the ill-advised policies that he likes to tweet. I look forward to working with Mr. Becerra to keeping California’s commitment to defending our constitutional rights, protecting a woman’s right to choose, maintaining our sacred voting rights, and protecting our immigrant population, which is so vital to our economy.”
