Alaska Beacon article by the Northern Journal-Anchorage Press's Nathaniel Herz, "As Alaska’s U.S. Senate campaign heats up, super PACs boost out-of-state candidates," mentions U.S. Senate candidate Richard Grayson
An Alaska Beacon article by the Northern Journal-Anchorage Press's Nathaniel Herz, "As Alaska’s U.S. Senate campaign heats up, super PACs boost out-of-state candidates," published today, Monday, August 3, 2026, mentions U.S. Senate candidate Richard Grayson.
The article begins:
Richard Grayson lives in Arizona and has been a fringe candidate in a number of federal elections. That includes in New York, where records show he’s established campaign committees named “The Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party Supports NY-21 Write-In Candidate Richard Grayson,” and “Write In Richard Grayson New York’s Cutest Communist.”
This year, Grayson is on the ballot in Alaska’s U.S. Senate race, where two heavyweights, Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola, are running in a contest that could help decide control of the chamber.
And now, two weeks before the primary election determines which four candidates advance to the general, Grayson, who’s running under the Green Party label, is getting an unexpected boost: A new super PAC has spent more than $100,000 on his behalf.
Fair Deal Alaska registered with federal campaign finance regulators a few days ago and lists as an address a suite in a Wasilla office building that offers “virtual office and mail services.”
In multiple filings with the Federal Election Commission, it has since reported spending some $180,000 on mailers, phone calls and other media supporting Grayson . . .

"Richard Grayson: Green Party Politics" in Lake Havasu City's Today's News-Herald
As a Green Party voter who feels differently about who the best candidates in our primary are, I would only like to point out that in the last contested statewide Green Party primary -- for U.S. Senator in 2024 -- only 11 people voted in Mohave County, according to the official canvass of that primary. The two on-ballot "Actively Opposed" candidates got 4 votes each, and the "Endorsed" write-in candidate got 3 votes. Rather than write a letter to a newspaper, it would have been easier for Mr. Swing to send each Mohave County household with a Green Party voters a mailing, the way "Actively Opposed" on-ballot candidates Risa Lombardo and Duwayne Collier have.

Apache Junction/Gold Canyon Independent publishes article on Arizona Legislative District 7 candidates, including Richard Grayson for State Repressentative
Most of the candidates in the Arizona Legislative District 7 July 21 primary are running unopposed, except in the GOP race for state representative.
In the Senate race, incumbent Wendy Rogers faces no challengers in the Republican primary. Michiel “Mike” Montiel likewise faces no challengers in the Democratic primary.
In the race for LD 7 representative, the field is crowded in the Republican primary. Incumbent Walter “Walt” Blackman will face former state Rep. David Cook Sr., Andrew Costanzo and Barby Ingle. The top two vote-getters will move onto the general election in November.
In the Democratic primary, Samuel “Sam” Martin is running unopposed.
Richard Grayson of the Green Party is a write-in candidate.
LD 7 encompasses Apache Junction, Gold Canyon Flagstaff, Page, Winslow, Show Low, Sedona and Pinetop-Lakeside. Here’s a look at the candidates:
Richard Grayson is running as a write-in candidate in the Green Party primary
Grayson, 75, hails from Apache Junction and works at the Central Arizona College Superstition Mountain Campus Library.
He is also co-chair of the Pinal County Greens.
"Unfortunately, only one Democrat, Sam Martin, qualified to run for the two seats as LD7 state representative," Grayson stated. "I am running in the Green Party primary to give Democratic and other progressive voters who want to use their second vote in the general election another candidate to vote for."
Grayson stated that the single biggest issue facing Arizona heading into the next legislative session is water — specifically long-term water security tied to growth, housing and the Colorado River.
"Recent polling found Arizona voters ranked “water and Colorado River protection” ahead of inflation, border security, taxes and education as the top priority for lawmakers," he stated.

Cochise County's Herald-Review Media publishes a letter about Richard Grayson's Arizona campaign in Arizona, "Sham Green Party candidate should withdraw"

Arizona Daily Star publishes letter on the Green Party by Richard Grayson

Cochise County's Herald-Review Media publishes a letter by Richard Grayson, "A spoiler candidacy isn't a protest, it's a risk," about the Arizona Green Party
Gary Swing's letter highlights Green Party values – but Democrats share those values, too. The real question is electoral consequence.
In the entire history of the State of Arizona, no candidate not a Republican or Democrat has ever won a contested partisan election, and there is no reason to believe this year will be different.
With Arizona's governor, Secretary of State, and 6th Congressional District races all potential tossups, Green candidates can tip outcomes towards the Republicans. The Green Party establishment dismisses both major parties as a "uniparty" or "corporate duopoly," but that framing ignores real differences. Bernie Sanders, Zohran Mamdani, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are not Andy Biggs, JD Vance, or Kari Lake. Those differences matter enormously under an administration many Arizona Green Party members find authoritarian and corrupt.
The CD6 race between Republican Juan Ciscomani and Democrat JoAnna Mendoza could help determine control of the U.S. House. A spoiler candidacy by Mr. Swing there isn't a protest – it's a risk. The vast majority of voters, Democrat and Republican alike, will reject the Green Party's refusal to reckon with political reality no matter who their candidates are.
