Baseball legend Steve Garvey is seriously considering entering the state's 2024 Senate race as a Republican.
You'd have to go back a generation - to 1988 - to find the last time a Republican candidate won a U.S. Senate race in heavily Democratic California. This time, the party might get an MVP on the ballot.
The 74-year-old Garvey had an 18-year major league career. He was National League MVP in 1974 and retired from baseball in 1987. Garvey's candidacy would reorder a growing field that already includes Democratic Reps. Katie Porter, Adam Schiff and Barbara Lee. The seat is held by Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who has announced she is not seeking another term.
In recent election cycles, California Republicans have targeted criticism at the state's Democratic-dominated government, faulting the rival party for notoriously high taxes, a homeless crisis, rising crime rates in cities and housing prices that are out of reach for many working-class families.
