Actor Antonio Sabato Jr. will run for Congress in California

Source: Associated Press



Tuesday, May 9, 2017

Actor Antonio Sabato Jr., a familiar face from soap operas “General Hospital” and “Melrose Place” and friend of President Donald Trump, has decided to run for Congress.

The one-time Calvin Klein underwear model filed paperwork with federal regulators to begin raising money for the contest in the 26th Congressional District, northwest of Los Angeles.

His advisers say he’ll be running as a Washington outsider who can bring fresh ideas to Congress. And he’ll be stressing his ties to the president, when Washington is in Republican control. Sabato spoke at last year’s Republican National Convention.

His strategist, Jeff Corless, said it’s “clear the electorate is frustrated with the professional politicians and the failed government bureaucracy.”

She has run against hand picked repugs and ex military in this military region and she has won.
It will take more than b-acting and underwear to move her out.
