In 1985, aged 25, Alvarado was appointed by Augusto Pinochet regime (1973–1990) as a major of Quemchi, a northwest commune in Chiloé Island. Then, in 1990s, he was elected deputy for the 58th District which groupes towns from Chiloé. In this position, he remained sixteen years (1994–2010) until 2009–10 general elections won by centre-rightist Sebastián Piñera, who appointed him as General Undersecretary of the Presidency, charge he held during all Piñera's first government (2010–2014).
