We will be speaking with each of those four candidates starting today with San Diego City Councilman David Alvarez.

Councilman David Alvarez criticized his colleagues for not being more aggressive in the face of the SDSU report, which showed that blacks and Hispanics are significantly more likely to be searched and questioned in the field after being stopped by police.
