"California Senate Race: Schiff and Garvey Battle with Porter in the Mix"

Congressman Adam Schiff is leading in the polls for California’s US Senate seat, with a Republican challenger, former LA Dodgers player Steve Garvey, rising as well. With less than two weeks before the nonpartisan primary, a statewide survey found Schiff in the lead with 24% of voters, followed by Porter at 19% and Garvey at 18%. Despite Schiff's well-funded campaign elevating Garvey's name recognition, the Republican's campaign is considered a long shot in deep-blue California. Garvey, who has never held public office, has raised over $600,000 for his campaign and has pointed to his outsider status, but has faced controversy and criticism.
