Florida Politics reports:
Former Democratic U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson is making another run for Congress, this time in the newly drawn Florida’s 10th Congressional District covering northern Orange County.
In CD 10, which stretches across much of northern Orange from Pine Hills to the University of Central Florida, Grayson would enter a Democratic Primary Election field that includes state Sen. Randolph Bracy, activist Maxwell Alejandro Frost, the Rev. Terence Gray, civil rights lawyer Natalie Jackson and others.
There are several Republicans running as well, including Calvin Wimbish and Willie Montague. But the new CD 10 should present a pretty solid Democratic lean, based on the past couple of General Elections.
Read the full article.
Grayson was first elected to the House in 2008, but was defeated in 2010 by the GOP rep he had unseated in 2008.
In 2012, he successfully ran for the House in a different district and was reelected in 2014.
In 2016, he ran for Senate, losing the Democratic primary to Patrick Murphy, who went on to lose to Marco Rubio.
Last year Grayson announced that he would challenge Rubio this year, but today’s announcement ends that plan.
Grayson’s famously bombastic style was sometimes not appreciated by the Democratic leadership, so this will be interesting.
