Over the course of his career in the House of Representatives, Becerra pulled in more than $1 million from political action committees affiliated with doctors and other health professionals, more than $300,000 from those affiliated with hospitals and nursing homes, and more than $300,000 from those affiliated with pharmaceutical companies and the manufacturers of other health care products, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics.
