NOTE: Alvarado-Gil changed political parties from Democrat to Republican in 2023.

REMARKS AND OTHER AREAS OF CONSIDERATION:

In 2024, after Kamala Harris took Joe Biden's spot as the Democrat nominee for President, she made a post on Instagram about Kamala saying "With the endorsement of VP Harris, the Democratic Party will need to organize a fierce strategy to win in November. It's time for bare knuckles to the mat. Time is a luxury the country does not have. The American people need leadership now. The world is watching." She was asked about that post (and why it was deleted) in an interview with KCRA that she took shortly after becoming a Republican, and she claimed "I don't support President Trump" and stated that she did not know for whom she would vote: https://x.com/ZavalaA/status/1822144403613393384?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1822144403613393384%7Ctwgr%5Edd51835f57def51eddf949f0137fe92be0594b67%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kcra.com%2Farticle%2Fcalifornia-state-senator-marie-alvarado-gil-party-change-interview%2F61841618

Additionally, she was asked about a Senate Resolution that she co-authored, titled "Relative to President Joe Biden". It was a 3-page long Resolution praising Joe Biden for his "swift action to get Americans vaccinated" against COVID-19, his Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill that "jump started America’s economic recovery", and his "his charm, candor, unabashed optimism, and deep and abiding patriotism." When she was asked about some of the statements and whether or not she still agreed with them after becoming a Republican, she said she agreed with "most of them": https://x.com/ZavalaA/status/1822145858193764465

Further along in the interview, she refused to say whether or not she was going to vote for President Trump, and ended up walking out of the interview while being asked about the more liberal positions she took as a State Senator: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKrMYREXhpE
