Xavier Becerra was a Democratic U.S. representative from California, first elected to Congress in 1993, who voted with most Democrats on 96% of the 112th Congress’s yes/no votes.
How we count: “Broke with party” is a yes/no roll call where the member voted against most of their own party on that vote (party as recorded; even splits not counted). “Pork: own share” splits each earmark shared by several members evenly among them.

Source: MIT Election Data and Science Lab, U.S. House V15 / U.S. Senate V8 (CC0), retrieved 2026-10-18; winners matched to member records by seat and term. Results run through the 2024 elections; nothing from 2026 is shown until it is certified. A margin is a fact about one election, never a score of how well a member represents anyone, and PORKER does not rank members by it.
How has California’s 34th district done while Rep. Becerra served?
2013 to 2016 in CA-34: typical household income was up 14% after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was down 4.8 points, and the share of workers looking for a job was down 4.8 points.
Each mini chart has its own scale, fitted to its lines (it does not start at zero), so compare the numbers, not the heights. Teal = district, oxblood = state, grey = U.S.
While they served, not because of them. This shows what happened in California’s 34th district during Becerra’s time representing it (2013 to 2017). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.
One set of district lines. CA-34 was redrawn in 2012 (the survey year the new lines first appear), but every survey year in Becerra’s term so far (2013 to 2016) uses the same lines, so they can be compared. The Census Bureau has no 2020 yearly estimate.
Data as of Oct 26, 2026 · latest recorded House vote Sep 16, 2026 · Sources: Congress.gov, Senate.gov, House Clerk, Appropriations Committee earmark tables. PORKER is non-partisan.
