Today, October 16, 2025, the Anchorage Daily News published an article by Iris Samuels, "Begich and Sullivan maintain fundraising efforts ahead of 2026 elections," that mentions Richard Grayson's Green Party candidacy for the U.S. Senate from Alaska in its final paragraph:

The Alaska Democratic Party has indicated that though no Democratic contenders have filed to run as of Thursday, it plans to field candidates in both congressional races.

“We’re working on candidate recruitment,” Alaska Dems Executive Director Jenny-Marie Stryker said in an interview Wednesday. “There’s lots of planning that’s happening on our side, and we’re going to be ready for those races.”

Though no candidate with Democratic Party backing has entered the race, several people have filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission indicating plans to place their names on Alaska’s ballot.

Among them is Richard Grayson, an Arizona resident who filed to run for Alaska’s U.S. Senate seat as a member of the Green Party. He is attempting to form a fundraising committee titled “Sophisticated Cosmopolitan Anti-Fascist Brooklynite Richard Grayson for Alaska Senator.”
