Since Dwyane Wade joined the Miami Heat in 2003, a popular nickname for the area has been “Wade County.” Wade was and will always be a fan favorite in the state, but he says he was approached to do even more for the place he called his second home.
Wade says that Florida democrats have approached him about running for office. It’s unclear what position Wade would have run for, but it’s likely he would have attempted to be either a senator, congressman or perhaps even the governor.
Wade says that while he was approached to run for office, he wasn’t sure if he’d take the opportunity.
“I mean, it’s just conversation,” Wade said to the New York Times. “‘Hey, you would be good for,’ ‘Hey, we can see you in,’ ‘We would love to have you in.’”
Wade noted that he does have passions and causes that interest him, but at the end of the day he doesn’t have aspirations for a career in politics.
“It’s things that I’m passionate about that I will speak out on and speak up for. And so I don’t play the politician games. I don’t know a lot about it,” Wade admitted.
“But I also understand that I have a role as an American citizen and as a known person to be able to highlight and speak on things that other people may not be able to because they don’t have the opportunity to do this.”
Wade would likely be a popular name on the ballot if he ever changes his mind about running for office in Florida.
