Congress

Fans have asked Astin if he would run for a political office. He is one step closer to throwing his hat in the ring by becoming the  Campaign Manager for Dan Adler for Congress

So, anyone who knows me, knows I absolutely love Politics.  Actually, I love government, but politics is a necessary evil.  I’ve campaigned with Presidential hopefuls and Members of Congress.  I’ve served as a Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the U.S. Army and as a member of the Presidents Council on Service and Civic Participation.  And now I face the toughest challenge ever in this arena, I am a Campaign Manager for Dan Adler for Congress.  We’ve been friends for 20 years and the members of California’s 36th District would be lucky to get him.  Click on the link if you want to learn more. Regardless, anyone who knows me knows that what I want most is for YOU to get involved.
