Steve Garvey Runs for U.S. Senate: Focus on Housing, Border, and Election Integrity

With the U.S. Senate seat in California formerly held by the late Senator Dianne Feinstein up for grabs, former baseball player Steve Garvey is making a bid for the position as a Republican candidate. Garvey, who played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres, is running against Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff in a highly contested race.

Garvey’s campaign has drawn attention for his stance on various critical issues. While his opponent, Adam Schiff, has emphasized the need for affordable housing and addressing homelessness, Garvey has also been vocal on these and other key topics. However, specific details on Garvey’s housing and homelessness policies are not as prominently highlighted as Schiff’s in recent interviews.

In the realm of election integrity, Garvey has committed to accepting the results of the 2024 presidential election, a stance that sets him apart from many of his fellow California GOP congressional candidates who have refused to make such a commitment. This pledge was made in February, contrasting with the broader trend among California Republicans who have not promised to certify the election results.

Garvey has also been involved in other public activities, such as a recent golf experience auction at Pebble Beach, though this is unrelated to his political campaign.

In a contentious political climate, Garvey’s campaign has been marked by strong rhetoric, including accusations against his opponent. For instance, there have been tweets suggesting that Garvey has labeled Adam Schiff as guilty of treason for his role in the Russian collusion investigation, though these claims are not substantiated and reflect the divisive nature of the campaign).
