Debra Messing Joins Democrats on Virtual Campaign Trail for Special Election.

Emmy-winning actress Debra Messing will assist Democrats by Zoom this afternoon as they attempt to heave Democrat Alexis Gevanter over the finish line in Tuesday’s special election in the 36th Senate District. Messing, best known for her long run as Grace Adler in the popular television comedy Will & Grace, will urge voters to support the corporate lawyer tomorrow.

Messing has enjoyed a varied and distinguished career on stage, television and film. She starred in the 2002 Woody Allen film Hollywood Ending, a decade after Dyan Farrow, a decade after the director was accused of sexually assaulting his daughter.

Messing, who grew up in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, is an active Democrat and has created a vigorous presence in social media.
