Republican Steve Garvey outraised his Democratic opponent Adam Schiff in California’s U.S. Senate race from April 1 through June 30 by over $1 million, despite recent polls showing Garvey more than 20 points behind in the deep blue state.
The baseball star and political rookie, Garvey, got 31.5% of the vote in the March primary, coming in second to Congressman Schiff, who got 31.6% of the vote. Democratic voters were split between several big-name Democrats, including East Bay Rep. Barbara Lee and progressive Southern California Rep. Katie Porter.
Garvey’s campaign reported raising over $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2024, while Schiff’s campaign raised $4.2 million during the same period.
Overall Schiff’s campaign has amassed nearly four times as much as his November opponent, $38.5 million to Garvey’s $10.9 million.
The two will face off in November.
