Description
Featured Speaker: Secretary Xavier Becerra

Former California Attorney General and Secretary of HHS, Xavier Becerra will deliver remarks about protecting and expanding democracy in 2025. In particular, Becerra will discuss what is at stake for Californians ahead of the Prop. 50 vote on temporary new district boundaries and compare and contrast to other efforts in Texas, Missouri, Florida and more. Beyond democracy, Becerra will outline his views on the importance of expanding access to quality health care, protecting immigrant rights, and more. Following the keynote address Becerra will be joined by Chad Dunn (School of Law and Luskin Public Affairs) who is currently leading a lawsuit against Texas redistricting on behalf of Black and Latino plaintiffs in Texas, and Dr. Natalie Masuoka (Political Science and Asian American Studies) an expert in redistricting and voting behavior to discuss the importance of voting rights and representation for Americans of all backgrounds. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Matt Barreto (Political Science and Chicana/o Studies) who is Faculty Director of the UCLA Voting Rights Project.
About the Lecturer
Xavier Becerra was born in Sacramento, California to immigrant parents, and was the first in his family to graduate from a university and become a lawyer. He started his career as a legal advocate for individuals with mental illness, then served 12 terms in the U.S. House of Representatives where he championed key healthcare reforms, including the Affordable Care Act, lowered Medicare costs for seniors, and protected Americans’ Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) from painful cuts.
In 2017, Congressman Becerra became California’s Attorney General, where he led efforts to protect Californians’ privacy and consumer rights and hold large corporations and the opioid industry accountable. He defended both the Affordable Care Act and the DACA program for Dreamers all the way to the Supreme Court and won.
In 2021, AG Becerra became the 25th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, where he oversaw the operations of Medicare, the ACA, Medicaid, the FDA, CDC, and NIH. As HHS Secretary, Xavier Becerra was in charge of a budget twice as large as the Department of Defense. Under his leadership, America achieved the highest level of healthcare coverage in history — with more than 300 million Americans possessing their own health insurance. He successfully led the first ever negotiations to lower prescription drug prices that pharmaceutical companies charge millions of Medicare beneficiaries, reducing prices up to 80%. And he successfully executed the Biden Administration’s campaign to end the COVID pandemic.
Xavier is married to Dr. Carolina Reyes, a maternal fetal medicine specialist and professor of medicine at UC Davis Medical Center. Together they have ushered into adulthood three accomplished daughters, Clarisa, Olivia and Natalia.
