Steve Garvey loses California Senate race

steve garvey

Former World Series champion Steve Garvey lost his bid Tuesday for California’s open seat in the U.S. Senate.

Garvey, a Republican, was considered a longshot to defeat Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff, who played a prominent role in the first impeachment trial of Donald Trump. As of Wednesday morning. Schiff had garnered 57 percent of the vote to 42.7 percent for Garvey.

“I want to sincerely thank you for your support and vote. It was an honor to be your nominee,” Garvey said in his concession speech. “And represent you around this great state of ours. To discuss the issues and ideas that we care about most — the cost of living, fixing our homeless crises, making our communities safe, improving our public schools and securing our border.

“Your vote for me in this general election was not against someone, but a demand that California becomes the heartbeat of America again. And that our country gets back on track again — to achieve great things and lead the world.

“Our campaign was never about political opportunity or party politics — it was always about the common cause. In other words, what’s good for all of the people.”

Garvey was running to fill the seat left vacant by the passing of Dianne Feinstein, who died in September 2023.

The 75-year-old Garvey is a California legend, spending his entire career in the state with the Los Angeles Dodgers (1969-82) and San Diego Padres (1983-87). He won the National League Most Valuable Player Award in 1974 and the World Series with the Dodgers in 1981, and he also was a 10-time All-Star.

On Tuesday, the National Baseball Hall of Fame announced Garvey was one of eight former players on the Class Era Hall of Fame ballot. Results of voting will be revealed Dec. 8.
