ByRepublican former baseball star Steve Garvey secured a showdown with Rep. Adam Schiff on a shoestring budget, but he now faces a daunting question: What's next?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. Adam Schiff - a Jewish Democrat known for his support of America's key ally in the Middle East.
The trip highlights the difficulties facing Garvey - and every other Republican statewide candidate seeking to connect with voters in this deep blue state. Under California rules, Democrats and Republicans appear on the same primary ballot and the two candidates with the most votes advance to the general election, regardless of political party.
California voters haven't elected a Republican to the U.S. Senate since 1988. Democrats control all statewide elected offices, relegating Republicans to a handful of congressional and state legislative districts. Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans in the state by about 2-to-1. 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."
