Garvey visited Israel recently on a trip designed to bolster his foreign policy credentials. SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Looking to boost his longshot bid for one of California’s U.S. Senate seats, Republican Steve Garvey traveled to Israel last month searching for room to run against U.S. Rep.
“There’s really no space for Garvey to grab from Schiff on the Israel-Hamas war,” said Kim Nalder, a political science professor at California State University, Sacramento. “His only possible vulnerability on the topic is from the left, so Garvey’s attempt will not connect.” But Garvey — the former National League MVP and World Series champion with Southern California’s beloved Los Angeles Dodgers — changed that equation. Garvey finishedSchiff in the March primary for the Senate term that begins in January, the beneficiary of Democrats’ splitting their votes among three sitting members of Congress: Schiff, Katie Porter and Barbara Lee.California voters haven’t elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate since 1988.
Garvey, in an interview with The Associated Press, said his campaign has “put a pretty good game plan together” for the general election. He recently spoke at an event organized by megachurch pastor Jack Hibbs. Garvey said he thought his performance in the primary “shocked a lot of people.” Schiff voted against that bill, which did not become law. At the time, Garvey called Schiff’s vote “a betrayal” of Israel.
In April, Schiff voted for a package that sent $95 billion in aid to U.S. allies, including Ukraine and Israel. He’s been endorsed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and has made multiple trips to Israel and the West Bank, which included meetings with Israeli ministers and King Abdullah of Jordan.
