- Description
- Baseball legend Steve Garvey is running to represent California in the United States Senate. After months of speculation, the Republican confirmed the news in an interview with FOX 11.
"It's been the worst kept secret, not only around California but around the country," Garvey said to Elex Michaelson, in the first TV interview of the campaign.
"I think back to the 1970s and 1980s, California was the heartbeat of America and now it is just a murmur. It’s got this potential to be the greatest state in the Union but we the people need to stand up again," Garvey said.
The former first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres has thought about a political career for decades. During his playing career, teammates used to call him "Senator."
This year, he spent months traveling up and down the Golden State to figure out whether to run for the Senate. He said almost everyone wanted to talk about quality-of-life issues.
