Rep. Xavier Becerra endorses Hillary Clinton: 'No leader comes better tested'



Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Los Angeles) is endorsing Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, citing her commitment to passing immigration reform.

Becerra, the chairman of the House Democratic caucus, becomes the highest-ranking Latino lawmaker to state a preference in the 2016 race.

"No leader comes better tested in the halls of Congress and in the foreign capitals of today's international hot spots," Becerra said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times. "As president, Hillary Clinton would make sure that our kids can go to college without facing a lifetime of debt, that every American is rewarded for working hard and growing our economy, and that we fix our broken immigration system."

The 12-term Democrat announced his endorsement as the former secretary of state is set to meet with home-care providers at Los Angeles Trade Technical College on Thursday afternoon. The event comes in the midst of three days of California fundraising events in Atherton, San Francisco, Los Angeles and La Jolla.
