Patrick Dempsey will not be representing Maine in the U.S. Senate. The #GreysAnatomy star penned an op-ed for the ‘Portland Press Herald’ explaining that he ‘gave it a real thought,’ but ultimately decided he wanted to contribute to matters most important to him through the platform he’s already built. ⁠ ⁠ “Whether you’re an elected official, a teacher, a nurse, a business owner, a parent or a volunteer, service begins with one simple question: How can I make someone else’s life a little better? That’s the work I want to keep doing. So no, I’m not running for office. But I am asking something of the people who do. Lead with humility. Tell the truth. Put people before party.”⁠ (Credit: Getty/Instagram)
