Actor Ben Savage, the star of the sitcom “Boy Meets World,” has announced his bid for Rep. Adam Schiff’s congressional seat in 2024 as the Democratic member runs for California’s open Senate seat.

In an Instagram post on Monday, Savage said that he’s “running for Congress because it’s time to restore faith in government by offering reasonable, innovative, and compassionate solutions to our country’s most pressing issues.”

Savage, 42, starred as Cory Matthews in ABC’s “Boy Meets World” from 1993 to 2000. He reprised his role in the Disney Channel reboot “Girl Meets World” from 2014-2017.

“I am a proud Californian, union member and longtime resident of District 30 who comes from a family of unwavering service to our country and community,” he wrote in his Instagram post. “I firmly believe in standing up for what is right, ensuring equality and expanding opportunities for all.”

Savage got 6%, ninth place out of 12 candidates vying for three spots on the Council.
Next.

3. Interestingly, California has had a number of intelligent actors who entered public service...

Sheila Kuehl certainly comes to mind.

So I don’t know anything about this guy, but his past career isn’t of itself a disqualifier.

6. Him and his brother supported Bush . So, no to them.

They don't come off as bad as that Charles in Charge guy but this is a solid blue seat so we can get any Democrat for it .
