Ben Savage says “Boy Meets World” clip shows he’s “always had a passion for politics,” as “GMA3” delivers his character’s speech from the ’90s sitcom

Ben Savage, the first boy meets world Star, who recently announced he is running for Congress, rose to national prominence Thursday with an interview GMA3: What you need to know.

In the interview, the show showed a clip from 1995 boy meets world Episode in which his character, Cory Matthews, gives an impassioned speech in his run for class president. “I’m not a special person. I’m just an average guy like you, the simple, hardworking student who struggles day after day. Too much homework. dishonest teachers. And an antiquated justice system that relies too much on imprisonment. And if I’m elected, if I win and you vote for me, I’ll say to all of you, ‘Hey, thanks!'”

Savage was asked if his character’s passion or any of those messages “remain alive today.”

“I think I’ll wear a better shirt. It was a little big in the 90s,” Savage joked. “That was the big trend.”

He added: “I think it goes back to the theme, I’ve always been interested in politics and always aspired to do good. And I think in Washington, DC, we could use more people who are passionate, energetic and eager to do what is right, not for any particular interest, but to serve the American people.

Savage faces a crowded field in his race for the 30th District congressional seat. Nick Melvoin, Mike Feuer, Laura Friedman and Anthony Portantino are also among the candidates for the Democratic nomination. Incumbent Adam Schiff (D-CA) is not running for re-election as he is running for the US Senate.

As this is a news programme, GMA3 lIkely would be exempt from the FCC’s simultaneity rules, which require broadcasters to give equal time to candidates for a job. But a shipment of boy meets world Repetitions may invoke such provisions.

In his appearance, Savage said issues like homelessness, housing and health care are important themes of the campaign, but “it’s really about changing the tone. I think there is a negativity in Washington DC that we need to address. We need to involve more young people in the political process. We need to increase civility. We must work to get things done in Washington.

Savage, who is Jewish, said he has a big problem with the rise in anti-Semitism going on in this country and across the country. This is also something that needs to be addressed. For me, it’s about bringing people together and bringing young, passionate and energetic leaders to the table.”

Savage ran for West Hollywood City Council last year but failed to win a seat.
