Steve Garvey has barely campaigned for Senate in California. He’s surging anyway

LA Times  

Former Dodgers all-star Steve Garvey’s quixotic campaign for the U.S. Senate seat once held by the late Dianne Feinstein appears likely to pay off in Tuesday’s California primary. Political experts say Garvey was buoyed by two forces: fame from his nearly two decades playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, including the Dodgers’ 1981 World Series victory, and a multimillion-dollar ad blitz by his opponent, Democratic front-runner Rep. Adam B. Schiff and his allies, that boosted Garvey’s standing among GOP voters. “Now having said that, it’s also great for Republicans — they are much better off with a Senate candidate in the fall for down-ballot races.” News that Garvey had been meeting with GOP donors and leaders around the state as he pondered a potential Senate bid leaked out last spring. Schiff’s political ads portray Garvey both as a loyalist of former President Trump and the Democratic candidate’s greatest threat in the California Senate race.
