California voters can send an experienced, practical, thoughtful and responsible lawmaker to represent them in Washington. Or they can send a former baseball player. We think the choice is clear. Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Burbank) should be California’s next senator. He has demonstrated extraordinary leadership and purpose during some of the difficult moments of the last several years, when it seemed like democracy and the stability of the U.S. government teetered on the edge.

Adam Schiff is the biggest serial liar ever in politics, and that’s saying something. If you vote for him, you deserve what you get. Garvey — all of our pro-Dodgers biases aside — is a stand-up candidate who will restore integrity to California’s representation in the U.S. Senate.
