Ben Savage wants another bite at the apple in politics — only this time, he’s thinking bigger … now running for a U.S. Congressional seat.
The “Boy Meets World” star is throwing his hat in the ring for a soon-to-be vacant seat in the U.S. House of Representatives — assuming Rep. Adam Schiff makes a run for Sen. Dianne Feinstein‘s Senate seat, which is widely expected to happen in the near future.

Anticipating that political shift … Ben has officially filed paperwork expressing his interest to enter the race for a chance to represent California’s 30th District, which includes parts of Los Angeles and cities immediately to its north.
Of course, this comes just a couple months after Ben tried his hand at more local politics — in November, he ran for L.A. City Council, but lost … garnering only 6.3% of the vote and tying for 7th place.

Rather than take his ball and go home, though … Cory Matthews is getting back out there. He’s registered as a Democrat, same as when he ran for city council.
Ben actually interned for then-U.S. Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania back in the 2000s while he was a student at Stanford University.
Schiff’s seat is highly coveted, so Ben should expect a tough race with seasoned political vets.
