Xavier Becerra (Democratic Party) is running for election for Governor of California. He declared candidacy for the 2026 election.[source]

Becerra was the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services. He assumed office on March 19, 2021. He left office on January 20, 2025.

President Joe Biden (D) identified Becerra as his nominee for secretary of health and human services on December 7, 2020.[1] The Senate confirmed Becerra on March 18, 2021, by a vote of 50-49.[2] Click here for more information about his confirmation process.

Becerra was first appointed attorney general of California by Gov. Jerry Brown (D). State term limits require the attorney general to serve no more than two consecutive terms.

Becerra previously served as a Democratic member of the U.S. House, representing California's 34th Congressional District, from 2013 to 2017. He also represented California's 31st Congressional District from 2003 to 2013 and California's 30th Congressional District from 1993 to 2003. Prior to his career in the U.S. House, Becerra served in the California State Assembly from 1990 to 1992.

Becerra was a superdelegate to the 2016 Democratic National Convention from California. Becerra was one of 75 superdelegates from the state. Superdelegates to the 2016 Democratic National Convention were not bound by the results of their state’s primary or caucus to support a specific presidential candidate. Becerra supported Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

The Biden Transition announced on December 7, 2020, that Becerra would be nominated for secretary of health and human services.

The Biden Transition said of Becerra in a press release, "A former member of Congress who helped drive passage of the Affordable Care Act, Becerra led the defense of the law in the Supreme Court last month. If confirmed, Becerra will be the first Latino to lead the Department of Health and Human Services."[4]

The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions held a confirmation hearing for Becerra for February 23, 2021. The Senate Finance Committee also held a confirmation hearing on February 24, 2021.

The Senate Finance Committee did not issue a favorable report on Becerra's nomination due to a tie vote of 14-14 that ran along party lines. On March 11, 2021, the Senate agreed to discharge Becerra's nomination from the committee by a vote of 51-48. The Senate confirmed Becerra on March 18, 2021, by a vote of 50-49.[5][6][7]

Calendar and delegate rules overview • Types of delegates • State election law and delegates • Superdelegates by state

Becerra was a superdelegate to the 2016 Democratic National Convention from California.[107] Becerra was one of 75 superdelegates from California. Superdelegates to the 2016 Democratic National Convention were not bound by the results of their state’s primary or caucus to support a specific presidential candidate. Becerra supported Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.[108] Clinton formally won the Democratic nomination for president on July 26, 2016.[109]

What is a superdelegate?

See also: Superdelegates and the 2016 Democratic National Convention

Superdelegates in 2016 were automatic delegates to the Democratic National Convention, meaning that, unlike regular delegates, they were not elected to this position. Also unlike regular delegates, they were not required to pledge their support to any presidential candidate, and they were not bound by the results of their state's presidential primary election or caucus. In 2016, superdelegates included members of the Democratic National Committee, Democratic members of Congress, Democratic governors, and distinguished party leaders, including former presidents and vice presidents. All superdelegates were free to support any presidential candidate of their choosing at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.[110]

California primary results

See also: Presidential election in California, 2016

In California's Democratic primary—which took place on June 7, 2016—475 pledged delegates were at stake, more than any other state in the 2016 Democratic nominating season. California's delegate haul represented almost 20 percent of the 2,383 delegates needed to secure the Democratic nomination and almost 12 percent of the 4,038 pledged delegates up for grabs in 2016. Polling from March and April showed Hillary Clinton with a lead in California over rival Bernie Sanders, ranging from six to 14 points. In 2008, Clinton won the state over Barack Obama 52 to 43 percent. California's pledged delegates were allocated on a proportional basis. California's 73 superdelegates were not required to adhere to the results of the June 7 primary election.

Delegate allocation

See also: 2016 presidential nominations: calendar and delegate rules
Democratic Party Logo.png

California had 551 delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Of this total, 476 were pledged delegates. National party rules stipulated how Democratic delegates in all states were allocated. Pledged delegates were allocated to a candidate in proportion to the votes he or she received in a state's primary or caucus. A candidate was eligible to receive a share of the state's pledged delegates if he or she won at least 15 percent of the votes cast in the primary or caucus. There were three types of pledged Democratic delegates: congressional district delegates, at-large delegates, and party leaders and elected officials (PLEOs). Congressional district delegates were allocated proportionally based on the primary or caucus results in a given district. At-large and PLEO delegates were allocated proportionally based on statewide primary results.[111][112]

Seventy-five party leaders and elected officials served as unpledged delegates. These delegates were not required to adhere to the results of a state's primary or caucus.[111][113]
