Ben Savage To Run For Congress!

Ben Savage running for Congress.

Entertainer seeks 2024 bid for the U.S. House if Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) retires and seeks a run for the Senate.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) has not ruled out another run for the Senate. At age 91, many believe she may be too senile to run and it has opened up a challenge for three Democratic House members who intend on winning the seat. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) has interest in running in the senate race.

Besides Schiff, there's Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) who is seeking to be the second African American woman after Kamala Harris who later became Vice President of the United States. And lastly, Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), a progressive lawmaker who carries baggage that could put the seat at risk of a flip. The lawmaker was recently called into question about her behavior towards staffers.

Schiff, who rose to fame seeking information about Washed Up 45 seeking foreign influence in 2015 and 2019 led the way to his impeachment. Schiff is vilified by the far right and name checked by Softball Hannity.

If Schiff runs for the Senate, Ben Savage will retire from acting to run for Congress. The district Savage running is California's 30th District. It encompasses West Hollywood, Burbank and parts of Pasadena.

The only thing that might harm him is Fred. His brother, actor/director Fred Savage was accused of inappropriate behavior during filming of The Wonder Years and The Conners.

He was forced out by ABC.

Ben is best known for his role on Boy Meets World and sequel Girl Meets World.

Savage famously played the lead role of Cory Matthews on ABC's "Boy Meets World" from 1993 to 2000 and then reprised his character in the 2014 reboot, "Girl Meets World." His most recent roles were two TV films, in 2022 and 2020.

A representative for Savage told ABC News in a statement, despite the filing, that "he is focused on his upcoming wedding. Ben is still making decisions and always looking for opportunities to give back and serve the community."

(Earlier this month, Savage announced he is engaged to Tessa Angermeier.)

Savage's representative did not respond to follow-up questions about why he submitted campaign paperwork now.

If Savage does make a run for Congress, it wouldn't be his first campaign to hold office. He ran unsuccessfully to be on the West Hollywood City Council in the 2022 election, focusing on community safety, housing and homelessness, according to his website.
