Former Dodgers and Padres first baseman Steve Garvey could possibly launch a bid to run for a United States Senate seat in California as a Republican in the 2024 election, Seema Mehta of the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
The 74-year-old has never ran for public office before. However, Republican strategist Andy Gharakhani is advising Garvey during his decision-making process, and he told the L.A. Times that the former MLB star could announce a bid somewhat soon if he so chooses.
“He is being contacted by leaders up and down the state,” Gharakhani said. “They’re recruiting him to run from both sides, Republican and Democrat, and he’s seriously considering it. We should have a decision made here in the next few weeks.”
