Sent to Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra.
Dear Secretary Becerra,
On behalf of the Democratic Party of Contra Costa County, we offer our heartfelt congratulations on your appointment as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
We are proud to have another California Democratic leader at the center of the fight against COVID-19. During such a critical time, your proven leadership is exactly what we need to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, expanding equitable access to vaccinations and getting everyone back to work.
As California’s Attorney General you fought for underserved communities, access to healthcare and justice for all; this is what will heal our nation during this critical time in our history. Your success in defending the Affordable Care Act, protecting women’s health and worker’s rights will rebuild a more equitable health care system that meets the needs of all Americans.
Again, congratulations on your appointment! We are honored to have the privilege to continue working with you as the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Sincerely,
Katie Ricklefs, Chair
Democratic Party of Contra Costa County
