Why we checked itSpecific figure (36 years) attributed to the opponent's career in politics — verifiable against the opponent's actual political record.
What we foundBecerra's political career spans approximately 35–36 years depending on the start date used, making Hilton's claim of '36 years' either accurate or off by one year, but his own campaign says 35 years.
