Veterans Day is the day set aside to thank and honor ALL those who served honorably in the military – in wartime or peacetime. In fact, Veterans Day is largely intended to thank LIVING veterans for their service, to acknowledge that their contributions to our national security are appreciated, and to underscore the fact that all those who served have sacrificed and done their duty.

Assemblymember David Alvarez was elected to the California State Assembly in June of 2022 to represent the 80th Assembly District. The 80th Assembly District includes the communities of Barrio Logan, Logan Heights, Sherman Heights, Bonita, Lincoln Acres, Otay Mesa and San Ysidro, along with the cities of Chula Vista, National City and Imperial Beach.

Assemblymember Alvarez is the proud son of Mexican immigrants, and the youngest of six. His father was a farmworker and a janitor, and his mother was a fast food worker. He is the first in his family to receive a college education receiving a B.A. with Distinction in Psychology from San Diego State University. Given the importance of education in his life, he has started a scholarship to support students from immigrant backgrounds to fulfill their educational goals.

During his time in office, Assemblymember Alvarez has supported historic investments in both K-12 and higher education, increasing childcare funding, economic relief for working families and investments in housing and critical infrastructure improvements. He was able to secure $25 million in state funding for a new library in Chula Vista and provided funding for the University Now Initiative (UNI) project, which is a step closer to a binational, multi-institutional university in Chula Vista.

The Assemblymember has authored laws which address heath inequalities, housing production, culture expression, and cross border issues related to education and the economy including AB 91, which will allow border students to attend California community colleges as in state students.

Prior to being elected to the Assembly, Alvarez has been a small business owner and has served for over fifteen years in government, including eight years as a San Diego City Councilmember. A proud advocate of the underserved in San Diego, his previous successes included building parks, libraries and fire stations in neighborhoods that did not have them.

David was born and raised in Barrio Logan. David and his wife Xochitl, a lifelong educator, are raising their daughter and son in Logan Heights, the community they grew up in.
