Becerra brought fourteen felony charges against Center for Medical Progress activists for recording fourteen videos (see Planned Parenthood 2015 undercover videos controversy), and one felony charge for conspiring to invade privacy, on March 28, 2017.[53] The charges were dismissed by a California Superior Court judge in June for not stating the names of those recorded and the specific dates of the recordings;[54] the charges were refiled with the names and dates in July 2017.[55]

 

In 2019, Becerra threatened "legal action" against reporters who had received records of California law enforcement officers who had been convicted of crimes during the past decade.[56]

 

In December 2020, Becerra was faulted by state district attorneys for not taking leadership to help stop unemployment fraud during the COVID-19 pandemic, in what was described as the "biggest taxpayer fraud in California history".[57] In January 2021, investigators said the total fraud was over $11 billion, with $19 billion in claims still under investigation.[58][59][60] Most of this money will likely never be recovered, prosecutors said.[57][61][62]

Ballot drafting[edit]

As Attorney General of California, Becerra was tasked with writing ballot titles and summaries that appeared on voter information guides and ballots in both the 2018 and 2020 elections. Proponents accused Becerra multiple times of writing biased descriptions that violated the law, which requires "a true and impartial statement of the purpose" of measures. In one of many unsuccessful lawsuits against Becerra, a state judge wrote that attorneys general have "wide latitude" in how they write ballot descriptions. Critics said the responsibility to write the ballot title and summary should be transferred to a different, non-partisan office.[71][72]

 

Nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services[edit]

After Joe Biden's election as president in November 2020, Becerra was considered a leading candidate for United States Attorney General.[73][44] The New York Times reported in early December 2020 that Biden would nominate Becerra as Secretary of Health and Human Services.[74] His nomination to lead the Health and Human Services Department has been criticized by pro-life and conservative leaders led by Students for Life of America, citing his "absence of health care experience and his disregard for people of faith".[75][76]

 

Personal life[edit]

Becerra is married to physician Carolina Reyes.[77] He is a member of the Inter-American Dialogue think tank, based in Washington, D.C.[78]
