Overview

• Steve Garvey, former Dodgers all-star and leading Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in California, is accused by three of his oldest children of abandoning them.
• Garvey's oldest child from his first marriage, Krisha Garvey, alleges her father cut off almost all contact with her about 15 years ago, neglecting to establish any relationship with her sons.
• Two other adult children, born out of wedlock from affairs, claim they have never known their father despite multiple efforts to arrange meetings or phone calls.
• Garvey's public image as a 'devoted family man' is challenged by these allegations, contrasting sharply with his campaign's portrayal of him as a man of honor and integrity.
• Despite the controversy, Garvey remains a significant contender in the Senate race, with recent polls showing him tied for second place.
