'Boy Meets World' star Ben Savage announces bid for West Hollywood city council

"Boy Meets World" star Ben Savage is running for West Hollywood, California city council. The actor, who has a Political Science degree, has lived there for the last 18 years

"I have seen this city grow to become one of the most thriving cities in the country - with extraordinary restaurants, hotels, nightlife and culture," a statement from Savage on the homepage says.

"In recent years, however, people have become disappointed with the direction the city is heading. Residents and community leaders have expressed frustration with the political divisiveness and loss of a sense of community," the statement adds. "People are eager for leaders who can talk to each other, build coalitions, work together on common sense policies and put the interests of the city and residents above their own."
