Former Florida Rep. Alan Grayson says he's making another run for Congress
Posted By Xander Peters on Tue, Apr 17, 2018 at 6:06 pm
His campaign raised just more than $192,000 in the first quarter of 2018, but former U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, a progressive Democrat, has yet to decide on where in the state hell make another run for Congress.
But lets be clear: As Orlando Rising reports Grayson saying on Monday, I am running for the U.S. House of Representatives. The decision as to which district, he added, gets answered during the qualifying period, which opens on April 30 and runs through May 4.
Grayson, who has stirred up his fair share of controversy over the years, served one term representing the state's 10th Congressional District and two representing the 9th Congressional District in Central Florida. Though Grayson has officially filed to run in Floridas 11th Congressional District, he has doubled down on the fact that its just a holding spot for his paperwork as he continues to raise money for his latest campaign.
But before we dive into the wonk of where Grayson might actually make his run, lets talk about the tumultuous acts and utterances the former congressman has developed a reputation for in recent years.

I don't know how any candidate could persuade me that he has changed his ways and ought to be running the government.
