Democrat Xavier Becerra advanced to California’s general election for governor, The Associated Press projected, after campaigning on his decades of experience in public office and pledging to continue the state’s opposition to President Donald Trump.

A former California attorney general and U.S. health secretary, Becerra highlighted his more than 35 years in government service and his record of filing more than 120 legal actions against the first Trump administration.
