Antonio Sabato Jr. is one of those rare actors who is a vocal supporter of President Trump. Now he’s planning to run for office as a Republican and challenge the sitting Democrat. Good for him!
The Los Angeles Times reports:
Actor Antonio Sabato Jr. to run for Congress against Rep. Julia Brownley
Actor Antonio Sabato Jr. is running for Congress, challenging Rep. Julia Brownley (D-Westlake Village), who represents the southern central coast and most of Ventura County, according to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission on Monday.
Attempts to reach the Republican candidate were unsuccessful Monday, but GOP strategist Charles Moran, who will serve as Sabato’s fundraiser, confirmed the run. Strategist Jeff Corless will serve as a top adviser.
Sabato is a longtime actor best known for roles in “General Hospital” and “Melrose Place” and as a model for Calvin Klein underwear. In recent years he has appeared in several reality television shows, including starring in “My Antonio,” a VH1 contest for which women competed for his affection, and “Dancing With the Stars.”
The 45-year-old was a vocal supporter of President Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign and spoke on his behalf at that year’s Republican National Convention.
We wish him luck! It’s great to see someone from the entertainment industry who isn’t a liberal.
