Steve Garvey points to his past to rival Schiff on understanding California workers

Steve Garvey, the former baseball star-turned-Republican pitchman taking on Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) in November’s California Senate race, pointed to his celebrity status and SAG-AFTRA card to show how in sync he is with everyday workers.

“As a proud former member of the Major League Baseball Players Association and SAG-AFTRA, I understand the importance of fair treatment and advocacy for workers,” Garvey said in a statement after Schiff visited an ironworks training center in La Palma with union workers.
