"We applaud President Biden for nominating a person of the
strongest character and a history of fighting for minority health
equity, Xavier Becerra," said Paul Kawata, Executive Director of NMAC.
"Attorney General Becerra has a long record of expanding
healthcare to minorities and fighting for vital federal funding to end
the HIV epidemic. As President Biden recommits to ending the epidemic,
the Secretary of Health and Human Services will be critically important
to not only delivering results, but to ensure
those who don't have access to healthcare will not be forgotten.”
"I've had the great pleasure of working with then-Congressman
Becerra," said Joe Huang-Racalto, Director of Government Relations and
Public Policy for NMAC. "His forward-thinking and defense of those who
have no voice, makes him uniquely qualified at this
critical time. Aside from executing President Biden's promise to end
the HIV epidemic, Mr. Becerra must rebuild trust among the minority
communities. NMAC looks forward to working with Secretary Becerra and we
strongly recommend his swift confirmation.”
