President-elect Joe Biden has selected California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, an ardent LGBT ally and a former congressman who represented Los Angeles, as his nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Biden’s selection of Becerra ends weeks of searching for a candidate that will bring a greater consensus among Washington political insiders over key healthcare issues including the Congressional Hispanic Caucus who had expressed grievances over a lack of the selection of Latinos in the incoming Biden cabinet.
Becerra has had a strong record in defending LGBTQ Californians. In an interview with journalist Karen Ocamb in August of 2018, he told the former Los Angeles Blade editor that he has never had an issue with LGBTQ people.
