Ben Savage, an American actor who rose to fame playing the lead role in the 1990s sitcom “Boy Meets World,” is planning to run for Congress as a Democrat.
That seat is currently held by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
Schiff is rumored to run for U.S. Senate and replace incumbent Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), an 89-year-old politician and the longest-serving female senator ever. However, Feinstein has yet to formally announce whether she will seek another term.
Savage, a Chicago native, has yet to make a public announcement about the run.
“The best is yet to come,” Savage captioned the post.
In 2022, the actor-turned-politician made an unsuccessful bid for a spot on the West Hollywood Council.
“Residents and community leaders have expressed frustration with the political divisiveness and loss of a sense of community,” the page states. “People are eager for leaders who can talk to each other, build coalitions, work together on common sense policies and put the interests of the city and residents above their own.”
“The city is facing serious challenges around public safety, struggling businesses, inflation and the cost of housing,” he added. “We need new leaders with a fresh perspective who are ready to begin tackling these issues.”
Savage, a longtime Los Angeles resident, became a household name in the 1990s for his role as Cory Matthews on “Boy Meets World” and later its sequel, “Girl Meets World,” which ran from 2014 to 2017.
He also appeared in a number of other shows, including the crime drama TV series “Criminal Minds,” and the espionage thriller, “Homeland,” among many others.
