First elected into the U.S. House of Representatives in 1992, Congressman Xavier Becerra has used his leadership to advocate for working families and small business owners, combat poverty, improve the Social Security program for women and minorities, and strengthen Medicare.

He was the first Latino to serve on the Committee on Ways and Means, serves as the Ranking Member of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Social Security, and was elected the fourth ranking Democrat in the House as the Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus.

 As the first university graduate in his family, Congressman Becerra understands the importance of working-class families and their impact within our communities. He has committed himself to the establishment of the National Museum of the American Latino to ensure that people remember and celebrate the history of America’s diverse communities.
