California baseball star Steve Garvey makes bid for US Senate as Republican
LOS ANGELES - California baseball legend Steve Garvey launched a campaign on Tuesday as a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat that was held by the late Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein.
So far, 14 candidates - including six Republicans - plan to run next year, according to Federal Election Commission data. The most prominent Democratic candidates are three current members of the U.S. House of Representatives: Barbara Lee, Katie Porter and Adam Schiff. Butler has not said whether she will seek election to the seat.
Feinstein, running against fellow Democrat Kevin de Leon, in her last general election for the Senate seat, won with 54% of the vote, her thinnest margin since her election to her first full Senate term in 1994. "Come a year from now, when I go to vote, I'll look at the candidates and I'll vote for the one that I think is best for the country and for the people," he said.
