Former World Series champion with the Los Angeles Dodgers Steve Garvey has announced his campaign for United States Senate in California.
“I like to think of myself as a concerned citizen. I started seeing a severe dysfunction in Washington. Career politicians were focusing on the business of politics and not the people,” Garvey stated.
“And I decided if there isn’t a voice in California, then I should take a few months and see if there’s a pathway for Steve Garvey to run for the U.S. Senate.” (Trending: Biden Admin Insults Concerned Parents at School Board Meetings)

Garvey said that those he has interacted with in California have expressed an appreciation for his care of their desires, rather than simply telling them what it best for them.
“It’s caused such a malaise for us in California,” he pressed.
“It’s time for a fresh voice with fresh ideas, and it’s time for me to stand up and represent the people of California, their quality of life and go to Washington in a year. They’ll be the wind beneath my wings, and we’ll see if we can change the dynamics and culture of Washington.”
“I think the quality of life is stagnant in California,” Garvey said.
A vote for Steve Garvey would be a home run for California.

“I think the economy with inflation has caused families to rethink how they live their daily lives, how they take care of their children. Can they save for the future? Can they afford better housing? Young couples in California can’t afford maybe the greatest single investment of their lives, and that’s a home, because of high interest rates and mortgages. I think inflation is causing tremendous stress on families.”
“I think crime in the streets has caused us to think about even walking in our neighborhoods, much less in big cities. We need to get back to law enforcement, support our law enforcement and make sure that criminals don’t walk through the front door and run out the back door. We need them prosecuted,” he added.
“During COVID, our children were suppressed. They didn’t have the same opportunities to learn – they’re behind,” he pressed. “We need to invest in the future of our county with our children and get back to core subjects. Let’s get back to a little extra time teaching so these kids catch up because the future of this country is in our youth today.” (Trending: 7,000 Migrants Cross Into Texas Town in 72 Hours)

Garvey spoke up as for what sets him apart from his compitetion, saying, “Well, I’ve always said the two most important days of our life are the day we’re born and the day we understand why,” he stated. “And I was given this skill to play a national pastime, baseball, and all those years, especially by the middle of my career, I learned that through my accomplishments, I had a voice and a presence. People knew who I was, and today they knew I had common sense and compassion and I took that throughout my life for the last 50 years.”
“People know me. They know me from the standpoint of when I take office a year from now, that I’ll go to bat for them every day. I played in 1,207 games – seven and a half straight years of going to my corner office at first base. People know that I’m dependable and passionate about my beliefs and I’m a true patriot.”
