there's a good chance he could end up on the Nov. 2024 ballot for senator. There are currently 3 good Democratic candidates for senator - Lee, Porter, and Schiff - and they could easily split the Democratic and Non-affiliated votes, giving Garvey a chance. Don't underestimate the value of name recognition - that's largely how Arnie ended up as governor.
