Did You Know Alan Grayson Is Running for Senate? Few Do.
NOTUS ^ | April 11, 2024 | Alex Roarty

The former Democratic star is running a campaign that few people seem to even know about while soliciting money from grassroots donors and retiring debt.

Alan Grayson was once one of the loudest Democrats in Congress. He’s now running for Senate in near silence while retiring years’ worth of campaign debt.

Grayson’s campaign eschews in-person events, only rarely appears in local media and attracts so little attention in Florida that at least one local Democratic Party leader didn’t know it existed until this week.

It is, however, actively soliciting donations from grassroots Democratic donors across the country — in what the former congressman says is part of a campaign to turn Florida blue in 2024.

Seven years after he last held elected office, the famously outspoken liberal politician and onetime MSNBC regular is running a new campaign in Florida’s Democratic Senate primary, saying he’s fighting for a chance to take on GOP Sen. Rick Scott in the general election. It’s the most recent comeback effort from Grayson, who served a total of three terms in the House after losing a previous Senate primary in 2016 and two House primaries in 2018 and 2022.

But his political operation is extremely unconventional, without the most basic components of typical statewide, professional campaigns. He spends almost no money on campaign staff. Grayson said this is all intentional.

“We’re campaigning on an individual basis,” he said in an interview. Technology, he said, has “moved beyond” the need for traditional in-person campaigning.

But his emphasis on online campaigning raises its own questions. Grayson doesn’t have a traditional campaign website, and he spends little time talking about his candidacy on social media sites like X. A once-active Facebook page of his hasn’t been updated since the summer of 2022.

Beyond all being sleazy lawyers is there another connection to Morgan & Morgan?

Technology, he said, has “moved beyond” the need for traditional in-person campaigning.

I met him on a flight from DC to OIA. Biggest dirtbag I have ever met...and I’ve met Crump and Sharpton. Grayson was married for 25 years and tried to get hos marriage annulled so that he could keep everything.

… (He) is the perfect symbol for this country; looks like he hasn’t taken a s--- in a month! He’s just not a regular guy. And every four years, he gets the runs…“He’s running again!”
Carlin made that quip about Nixon, but just apply that to Grayson and it fits better.

I think he’s a POS.

I know the federal reserve is nothing but organized crime, allowed by the even bigger criminal syndicate, the federal government

On the off chance I hear these guys talk, I know they’re full of sh*t, but I don’t understand language.

But, I have watched of Grayson, seems to me, makes fools of the federal reserve guys.

I’d forgotten about that dipstick.

I’m amused at myself for reading the headline and it got my attention when I at first glance thought it was about that player the Suns drafted, Allen Grayson == a youngster running for Senate.

If Florida changes its voting rules such that only people committed to a mental asylum can vote - I worry he has a chance.

Fortunately, I do not think Florida will change its voting rules so that only loony bin inmates can vote.

I recall being surprised to read that his second ex-wife’s first name was Lolita. Not that it really means anything, but it’s a woman’s name you don’t hear in the states that much.
