Is Ben Savage running for Congress?
In August 2022, Savage announced his bid for West Hollywood City Council.
The decision ultimately shocked his fans, and while his campaign was unsuccessful, he has not given up hopes of being elected.
In March 2023, he then announced another campaign, revealing that he’s running for Congress in hopes of replacing Adam Schiff.
“Together, we can do better,” Savage said in a statement.
“I am a proud Californian, union member and longtime resident of District 30 who comes from a family of unwavering service to our country and community.
“I firmly believe in standing up for what is right, ensuring equality and expanding opportunities for all.”
He added: “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.
“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 hopes to replace Schiff, who is running for an open Senate seat, in 2024.

What are Ben Savage’s priorities?
Savage has listed several priorities on his website but is “laser-focused” on making neighborhoods safer and ending homelessness.
“I don’t believe in leaving individuals suffering from homelessness on the side of the street,” he said.
“It’s time for a compassionate, practical and permanent approach to solving homelessness.”
Other priorities include funding for affordable housing, education, and healthcare.
“We live in the greatest, wealthiest and most advanced country on Earth – we should be taking care of our citizens,” Savage states.
He is also focused on women’s rights, stating that it’s important to codify Roe v Wade after the Supreme Court’s controversial 2022 ruling, and ending gun violence.
