Anchorage Daily News article features news of Richard Grayson's campaign for U.S. Senator from Alaska

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.”

Arizona Secretary of State Releases Official Canvass for September 23 Special Election for Congressional District 7

Today, Tuesday, October 14, 2025, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes released the official canvass for the September 23, 2025 special election for Congressional District 7. Although Adelita Grijalva, the Democratic candidate, won with nearly 70% of the vote, overwhelming opponents Daniel Butierez (Republican), Eduardo Quintana (Green), and Richard Grayson (No Labels), but Republican U.S. House Speaker refuses to swear her into office, knowing that she will be the deciding vote in favor of releasing the Epstein files, which may contain embarrasing details about President Donald J. Trump.

SW Valley Times publishes article mentioning Richard Grayson as U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar's 2022 opponent

Today, October 14, 2025, the SW Valley Times published an article by R.L. Greenwood, "Paul Gosar criticizes Democrats over government shutdown and military pay in October 2025 posts," that mentions Richard Grayson as Rep. Paul Gosar's 2022 opponent:
On October 14, 2025, Gosar expanded his criticism of Democrats. He stated, “It’s shameful that Democrats are willing to allow our troops, military families and federal law enforcement to go without pay so that they can appease their far-left Marxist base and Soros-backed activist groups.”
Gosar’s remarks come amid heightened political tensions surrounding government funding negotiations. In previous election cycles, Gosar has demonstrated strong electoral performance; he won his 2022 general election against Richard Grayson with 97.8% of the vote.
The accusations from Gosar reflect ongoing partisan disputes over government shutdowns and funding priorities, particularly regarding defense spending and immigration policy.

Arizona Daily Star/Tucson.com publishes letter by Richard Grayson, "Opponent says: Let Grijalva do her job"

Today, Saturday, September 27, 2025, the Arizona Daily Star/Tucson.com published a letter, "Opponent says: Let Grijalva do her job," by Richard Grayson:
I was the No Labels Party candidate in the Sept. 23 special election in Congressional District 7. With less than 1% of the vote, I conceded. Adelita Grijalva won an overwhelming victory to become the next U.S. representative.

In the last House special election, in Virginia’s District 11 on Sept. 9, Democrat James Walkinshaw was sworn in by Speaker Mike Johnson the very next day, Sept. 10. Yet days after Grijalva’s uncontested win, Republicans on Capitol Hill are stalling, saying she will not be sworn in for weeks. I am a progressive who opposes sexual harassment of women, believing that I share these values with Green Party candidate Eduardo Quintana and Democratic nominee Adelita Grijalva.

This is unacceptable. The people of Congressional District 7 — stretching from Tucson through Southern Arizona, from Yuma County to Cochise County — have been without a voting member of the U.S. House for more than six months. Adelita Grijalva must be sworn in immediately as our congresswoman.
