Becerra's full non-edited answer when asked whether he'll commit to funding healthcare for undocumented Californians: "Every time people ask 'will you commit to this? Will you promise to that?' That may get you elected but it's not the way you govern." "I made it very clear I was going to be the healthcare governor for California.I made it very clear I want California to be the backstop for all families who need access to healthcare." "But you want me to make a commitment to families without knowing what the budget will be? Without knowing where the votes are? That's just playing politics the wrong way.." "I will take this very seriously...Am I committed to committed to make sure families don't lose their healthcare? Not only that, I am committed to expand it so more families have access to healthcare." "But guys (looks at CA press corps), don't play this game about asking me to commit because I did not get elected doing that. A lot of other folks made these wild promises, and they're not the governor-elect." "I cannot make a commitment without knowing what exactly I face because I don't think any voter, any taxpayer, any Californian wants to have a governor who is still acting like a politician."

Governor-Elect @XavierBecerra (D-CA) congratulates Los Angeles Mayor-Elect @nithyavraman. "We're going to need to work closely in this administration with all of our mayors, not just the big city mayors, but all of our mayors and supervisors." Becerra says he hopes he can "change the relationship with local government. I know local government fears sometimes Sacramento does not pay attention to them and shortchanges them. I hope we can have conversations so they feel we are full partners."
