Xavier Becerra Coming to Coachella Valley

Xavier Becerra, Democratic Candidate for Governor, Plans Visit tot Coachella Valley

INDIO — Xavier Becerra, a Democratic candidate for governor is coming to the Coachella Valley on Thursday, April 16th from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. for a reception in support of his campaign for Governor of California.

This celebration will take place at the Isla Mujeres venue in Indio, 83085 Indio Blvd.

Becerra has built a long career in public service, serving as the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, California Attorney General, Member of Congress, and California State Assemblymember. His roles have included work related to health care access, public health initiatives, consumer protections, and federal and state policy.

In the wake of Eric Swalwell pulling out of the Governor’s raca amid sexual misconduct allegations, Democrats are scrambling to snatch his support.

Becerra, who served in President Joe Biden’s administration, told CNN it’s “a new day” in the governor’s race. Becerra said he and his team had expected the race would be shaken up in some way. Now, he said, the “shaking has occurred,” and voters will soon begin to pay more attention.

“The race is wide open,” he said in an interview. “Today is Day 1 of that new race, and we all move forward.”

The list of other potentially viable Democrats in the race includes billionaire activist Tom Steyer, who has blanketed the television airwaves by pumping at least $110 million into advertising; progressive former Rep. Katie Porter; former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa; San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan; California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond; and former state controller Betty Yee.

The Becerra event is being hosted by Democratic Women of the Desert.
