Xavier Becerra’s future role in your family life

Vicki Shabo was quoted in Deseret News about the nomination of Xavier Becerra to HHS Secretary and its implications on paid leave and the care agenda:

The incoming Biden/Harris administration announced “a very robust agenda around caregiving,” much of which will fall into Becerra’s jurisdiction, said Shabo — including a big investment in child care and long-term care and support, plus bolstering those work forces.

“I think that’s exciting because in Congress, Becerra was an advocate for children and for health care and has made very clear his commitment to both of those things. It will be exciting to see how (the department) meets the needs of millions of families across the country and deals with vast gender, racial and economic inequities,” said Shabo.
