Laphonza Butler Declines Senate Run in 2024

Laphonza Butler, the newly appointed California Democratic Senator, has announced that she will not run for a full term in 2024, avoiding a costly and challenging race. Butler's decision comes after considering her personal aspirations and the kind of service she wants to offer. Her candidacy would have complicated an already crowded race that includes prominent Democrats and a former MLB star. Butler, a former labor leader, had never held public office before joining the Senate. Her chances of securing one of the top two spots in the primary appeared unlikely, and she would have faced financial and political hurdles on a tight timeline.

Steve Garvey, Former Baseball Star, Enters California Senate Race

Former baseball player Steve Garvey, a Republican, has announced his candidacy for the California Senate seat left vacant by Dianne Feinstein's death. Garvey, 74, played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres and has never held elected office. While his campaign positions align with Republican stances on most issues, he breaks from party orthodoxy by not supporting a federal abortion ban. Garvey will be running against at least three Democratic candidates, including Representatives Barbara Lee, Katie Porter, and Adam Schiff. However, he faces an uphill battle as California has not elected a Republican to the Senate in over 30 years.
