The Italian-born actor is challenging incumbent Democrat Julia Brownley in California’s 26th Congressional District. The district represents northwest Los Angeles County and most of Ventura County. His name recognition should help give a boost to his campaign.
Sabato’s campaign released a statement:
Antonio Sabato Jr. has spent his entire adult life raising a family, running successful small businesses and giving back to his community. Antonio shares in the frustration of many voters across the political spectrum who believe government has failed them, which is why he has decided to run for Congress. Julia Brownley has been a professional politician most of her career and she has nothing to show for it. Antonio is very passionate about addressing our veterans’ needs in a meaningful way, pursuing results oriented solutions for substance abuse, and comprehensive immigration reform. He looks forward to sharing his vision with the voters of California’s 26th Congressional District.

President Trump could use another friend in Congress! It would be terrific if Sabato can win this seat. Not only does he support the president’s agenda, but as an immigrant he smashes the anti-immigrant perception the media is peddling about Republicans.
Share this if you hope Antonio Sabato Jr., is sent to Congress!
