Schiff and Garvey Headed for Senate Showdown

“Concluding California’s most competitive U.S. Senate primary in a generation, Rep. Adam Schiff and retired Dodgers All-Star Steve Garvey will square off in November to represent the Golden State in Washington,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

“The job, one of the most coveted in California politics, is rarely open. Feinstein was in the Senate for more than three decades, and Sen. Barbara Boxer served for nearly a quarter-century. A Senate seat can also be a launching pad for higher office, as was the case for Vice President Kamala Harris, President Nixon and California Gov. Pete Wilson.”
