Actor Patrick Dempsey Pours Cold Water on Possible Senate Bid in Maine The latest rumor surrounding actor Patrick Dempsey's potential bid for a U. S. Senate seat has been put to rest by the man himself.
In a statement issued earlier this month, Dempsey confirmed that he is not seriously considering a run for office in his home state of Maine.
This news comes as a relief to some, who might have seen Dempsey's candidacy as a novelty or an exercise in celebrity politics.
