The leadership and national alumnae of Hispanas Organized for Political Equality (HOPE) strongly supports the nomination of Xavier Becerra as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

We support the nomination of Secretary-Nominee Becerra to be the next HHS Secretary.

I'm especially troubled by situations in which the government goes around the courts and buys Americans private records from data brokers, people who are basically unregulated.

I urge you and your colleagues in the Senate to move swiftly on AG Becerra's nomination.

Mr. Becerra has been a strong advocate for ensuring access to health care for all.

With a pandemic raging, so many Americans struggling to get by, and our health-care system strained to the max, there may not be a higher-stakes job in the executive branch outside of the presidency itself.

We have confidence that he has the health care expertise and experience managing large systems.

It is shameful that you still hear about people rationing their own medicine and suffering terrible consequences because they cannot afford their medicine.

I would like to ask you whether you would make public the circumstances under which the CIA as part of the Intelligence Community purchases commercially available information and the legal basis for doing so?

It is totally unacceptable that pregnancy and childbirth in the postpartum period are so dangerous to American women.

If AG Becerra and his team start every day actually focusing on expanding health care and improving health services instead of limiting them, they will already be doing better than the last administration.

It is important to recognize that the finance ministries of all major economies are engaged in thinking about the impact climate change will have on their economies.

This nomination carries historic significance.

when Mr. Adeyemo is confirmed, he'll be part of a history-making duo--the first African-American Deputy Treasury Secretary will be serving under the first woman Treasury Secretary.

I have the utmost confidence in his leadership and his character.

I strongly support the President's plan to bolster America's infrastructure, ranging from surface transportation to broadband to airports and waterways.

I'm grateful for the work you and your colleagues did to fix that gap in our anti-money laundering regime.

When Mr. Adeyemo is confirmed, he will be making history as part of a history-making duo.

He knows from firsthand experience, having been in the Obama administration, that going small is a big risk.

I agree with that, and agree that another COVID package is appropriate.

Unfortunately, Democrat leadership has apparently chartered a path toward a massive, untargeted $1.9-trillion package that may even bypass this committee.

They recognize that jobs and protecting our treasures are not mutually exclusive, that you can do both.

You did not just say you are for jobs. You went out and you helped us actually get sponsors for the legislation.

I appreciate your answer, Congresswoman. And you know, the reality is, these kinds of efforts, like the bill with Congressman Neguse, the 21st Century Civilian Conservation Corps, can be a big economic multiplier.

They are sure looking for your new lens in terms of trying to deal with these tribal water issues.
