California Senate Candidates Adam Schiff, Steve Garvey Make Last-Minute Push for Central Valley Votes
Schiff, Garvey crisscross region in final days before election
With just days to go before the November 8 election, California Senate candidates Adam Schiff and Steve Garvey are making a last-minute push for votes in the Central Valley.
Schiff, a Democrat, is running for the seat currently held by retiring Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Garvey, a Republican, is a former baseball player who has never held elected office.
Both candidates have been crisscrossing the region in recent days, attending rallies, meeting with voters, and giving speeches.
Schiff has focused on his experience in Congress, where he has served on the House Intelligence Committee. He has also talked about his plans to address the region's water shortage, improve education, and create jobs.
Garvey has focused on his conservative values and his support for President Donald Trump. He has also talked about his experience as a businessman and his desire to bring jobs to the Central Valley.
The Central Valley is a key battleground in the Senate race. The region is home to a large number of independent voters, and it is considered to be one of the most competitive areas in the state.
Polls show that the race is close. A recent poll from the Public Policy Institute of California found that Schiff is leading Garvey by 5 points, 48% to 43%. However, the poll also found that 9% of voters are still undecided.
The outcome of the Senate race could have a significant impact on the balance of power in the Senate. If Schiff wins, Democrats will have a 51-49 majority. If Garvey wins, Republicans will have a 50-50 majority, with Vice President Mike Pence breaking the tie.
The election is on November 8.
