Ben Savage, the former star of the 1990s ABC sitcom “Boy Meets World,” is running as a Democrat for a U.S. House seat covering the district that includes Hollywood.

“I’m 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 announced on Instagram. “And it’s time for new and passionate leaders who can help move our country forward. Leaders who want to see the government operating at maximum capacity, unhindered by political divisions and special interests.”

Savage, 42, is looking to represent District 30 in California, which is being left vacant by Rep. Adam Schiff — who announced a 2024 run for the Senate seat currently held by 89-year-old Dianne Feinstein.
