Issue evidence — side by side
Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.

Research notes & limits
No opposing candidate qualified for the November 3, 2026 general-election ballot in this district. Alvarez has not completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey; positions and the Bodega Act item rely on his own campaign site rather than an independent news article or bill-text link, since the underlying news article URL and exact bill number could not be independently located. Biography details come from his official Assembly page, campaign site and Ballotpedia; no independent news profile was loaded.
