‘Boy Meets World’s Maitland Ward Backing Ben Savage’s Run for Congress

Maitland Ward from “Boy Meets World” says she’s in costar Ben Savage‘s corner as he makes his run for congress … even if it might be an uphill battle for him.

We got the actress, who played Rachel on the hit show, in Bev Hills and she had nothing but positive things to say about Ben … adding he’s always been into politics, so his drive for a seat in the House of Representatives makes sense.

She does seem kinda doubtful about him getting a W, though … admitting it’s gonna be a very tough fight. However, she has some killer Cory Matthews-themed campaign ideas to give him a leg up on the competition!

As we reported, Ben filed paperwork this month expressing interest to run for CA’s 30th district, which includes parts of Los Angeles and its northern cities.

The filing came after he unsuccessfully ran for West Hollywood City Council back in November.

Maitland, who’s famously transitioned into the porn industry, was all for Ben’s decision to join that race, but says he might not have had enough brand recognition that time around.
