加州当选州长贝塞拉选后首度公开表态:生活成本是首要任务、过渡团队人选将公布

位于加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托的州议会大厦11月5日迎来当选州长哈维尔·贝塞拉(Xavier Becerra)的选后首次公开活动:他与州众议院议长罗伯特·里瓦斯(Robert Rivas)、州参议院临时议长莫妮克·利蒙(Monique Limón)会面后共同会见记者。贝塞拉在11月3日选举中击败共和党人史蒂夫·希尔顿(Steve Hilton),接替州长加文·纽森(Gavin Newsom),民主党由此连续第五届执掌州长办公室。
贝塞拉说,选民发出的信息非常清楚:第一、第二、第三要务都是生活成本。他表示,无论能源、税收还是医疗,「一切都应摆在桌面上讨论」,但拒绝在摸清州财政底数前作具体承诺,并说自己「已不再是候选人,而是当选州长」,会认真对待每一分钱。被问及财政厅长人选时,他笑称希望找到一位「能从树上摘钱的人」。
贝塞拉曾任加州总检察长与联邦卫生与公众服务部长。他表示,自己任内扩大了医疗可及性、压低了医疗成本,新政府打算在住房、医疗与能源三条线上延续这一路线;三位民主党领袖在记者会上展现了府会合作的姿态,里瓦斯与利蒙均承诺与新州长密切配合。
贝塞拉透露,过渡团队人选「很快」公布。他定于2027年1月宣誓就职;在此之前,现任州长纽森政府将与其团队逐项交接预算、立法与机构人事。

California Governor-elect Becerra, in First Public Remarks Since the Election, Puts Cost of Living First and Promises Transition News Soon
California Governor-elect Xavier Becerra made his first public appearance since election night at the State Capitol in Sacramento on November 5, meeting state legislators and then taking questions alongside Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas and Senate President Pro Tem Monique Limón. Becerra defeated Republican Steve Hilton on November 3 to succeed Governor Gavin Newsom, extending Democratic control of the governor's office to a fifth straight term.
Becerra said the public's message was unmistakable: "job one, two and three" is the cost of living. Everything - energy, revenue and tax policy, health care - "should be on the table," he said, but he refused to make specific commitments before seeing the state's books, adding, "I'm no longer a candidate; I'm now the governor-elect." Asked about a finance director, he joked he would like "someone who can pull money off of trees."
A former California attorney general and U.S. health and human services secretary, Becerra said his record is expanding health care access and lowering its cost, and that he intends to do it again, with housing, health care and energy as the incoming administration's main fronts. Rivas and Limón pledged close partnership with the new governor.
Becerra said announcements about his transition team would come soon. He takes office in January 2027; until then, the Newsom administration will hand over budget, legislation and agency staffing item by item.
