Xavier Becerra impressed me last night.

He was a surrogate for Hillary before the debate. I liked him and wondered if he was on a list for VP.

From http://www.dems.gov/member/xavier-becerra/

First elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1992, Representative Xavier Becerra serves as Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, is a member of the powerful Committee on Ways And Means and is Ranking Member of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Social Security.

His committee is responsible for formulating our nation’s tax, Social Security, Medicare, trade and income security laws. As Chairman of the Democratic Caucus, Rep. Becerra wields a strong voice in House Democratic leadership, helping to set priorities and drive the legislative decision making process.

He has dedicated himself to promoting issues affecting industries critical to the economic vitality of the Southern California region such as health care, high technology, entertainment, and stimulating free, yet fair, trade.

he held conference calls with people in his district. He's very in touch with his district.

Adam Schiff is my congressman now, he's no slouch either!
