Here's how to watch the California U.S. Senate debate between Garvey and Schiff

The two men vying to represent California in the U.S. Senate will face off Tuesday night in their only debate of the general election.

Republican Steve Garvey, 75, and Democrat Adam B. Schiff, 64, will meet on the debate stage Tuesday at 5 p.m. in a forum hosted by KABC-TV in Los Angeles and co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of California .

Garvey and Schiff took part in three debates during the competitive Senate primary in the spring, but shared the stage with Democratic Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee.

Representing California in the Senate is one of the most coveted jobs in Golden State politics, and the seats are rarely open. The late Sen. Dianne Feinstein served in the Senate for more than three decades, from her election in 1992 until her death last year.

Polls show Schiff with a clear lead ahead of the November 5 election.

Schiff placed first in primaries throughout his six-year Senate term with 31.6% of the vote, with Garvey a close second with 31.5%. In the primary election for the remainder of Feinstein's term, which ends in January, Garvey came first with 33.2% of the vote and Schiff came second with 29.3%. Laphonza Butler currently holds the seat on an interim basis.

Who are the candidates for California Senate?

Schiff, of Burbank, has represented parts of Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley for nearly three decades, first as a state legislator in Sacramento and in Congress since 2001.

Garvey, of Palm Desert, is famous in Southern California not for his politics but for playing first base for the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres for 18 years. He describes himself as a “moderate conservative.”

Who moderates the debate?

The debate will be moderated by Marc Brown, a KABC news anchor.

He will be joined by three journalists from across the state: Kristen Sze, anchor for Bay Area ABC affiliate KGO-TV; Warren Armstrong, anchor of Fresno ABC affiliate KFSN-TV; and Gabriela Teissier, host for Univision Los Angeles.
