According to his campaign website (as of July 26, 2010):
As a working-class candidate from a poor neighborhood, Alvarez understands that the State of California's economic woes should not be shouldered by working people. The current governor's solution to California's massive budget shortfall has been to ram through cutbacks, layoffs and flat taxes that hit the poor hardest. Alvarez rejects these measures and instead calls for forcing the state's richest banks and corporations to pay their share. Alvarez is a candidate that is already advocating for the interests of the vast majority of California's residents.
