MLB great Steve Garvey announced he is running for the U.S. Senate in California on Tuesday and talked to Fox News Digital on the issues he thinks are plaguing the state.

Garvey on Tuesday announced he is taking on a new challenge as he hopes to move his corner office from first base to Washington, D.C., in a campaign for U.S. Senate in California.

'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.
think the quality of life is stagnant in California,' Garvey told Fox News Digital. '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.
