Arizona Daily Star/Tucson.com publishes letter by Richard Grayson, "Arizona No Labels Party is not Andrew Cuomo’s No Labels"

Today, August 20, 2025, the Arizona Daily Star/Tucson.com published a letter by Richard Grayson, the No Labels Party candidate for Congress in the September 23 special election in Arizona's Seventh Congressional District:
As the first Arizona No Labels Party candidate to appear on the ballot — in the September 23 special election for the state’s 7th Congressional District — I want to make something clear: Arizona’s No Labels Party has no connection with the national group of the same name. That organization has endorsed Andrew Cuomo, the former New York governor who resigned in 2021 amid a sexual harassment scandal, in the New York City mayoral race.
Our state party’s new chair, former Phoenix Mayor Paul Johnson, has already emphasized this separation. Although I initially opposed his proposal to change our party’s name, I now realize I was wrong. I do not want to be linked with Andrew Cuomo in any way.
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.

AP Article on Arizona No Labels Party Mentions Richard Grayson and Pinal County No Labels Party Voters for Joe Biden

An Associated Press article by Jonathan J. Cooper, "A third party signed up 15,000 voters in Arizona. Democrats worry that’s enough for a Biden spoiler," published today, September 21, 2023, mentions Richard Grayson:
A perennial candidate from outside Phoenix signed up as a No Labels candidate and declared himself chairman of No Labels’ Pinal County chapter, in part so he could run for state office and try to force the party to follow the state’s campaign finance reporting laws.
“It’s kind of like a performance art piece,” said Richard Grayson, who promptly after switching to No Labels endorsed Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
