An AP article by Jonathan J. Cooper published today, Tuesday, January 16, 2024, "Judge says No Labels can block candidates from running for offices other than president in Arizona," mentions Richard Grayson's candidacy for the Arizona Corporate Commission:

Richard Grayson, one of five No Labels members who have filed to run for office in Arizona, said he was hopeful appellate courts would see the issue differently. Trump, the clear leader of the Republican Party, can’t tell candidates he doesn’t like that they can’t run for state Legislature, he said.

“There’s a lot of people in the various parties that the parties don’t want them to run, and that’s always been true,” Grayson said Tuesday.

Grayson, who likens his perennial losing campaigns to performance art, is a No Labels critic who thinks the party should disclose its donors. He changed his party affiliation to draw attention to what he views as a top-down operation that’s doomed to failure.

An article by Russell Payne at The Sun of New York, "No Labels Goes to Court To Prevent Opponents From Borrowing Its Brand, Protect Secret Donor List," published today, Thursday, January 4, 2024, mentions Richard Grayson in several paragraphs:

At least one of the candidates that No Labels is attempting to block, Richard Grayson, is a perennial candidate who likens his campaigns to performance art.

Mr. Grayson is also running in the open primary to represent Alaska in the House this year. He has previously run for Congress in Wyoming, citing the law there that only requires House members to live in their districts at the time they assume office.

Mr. Grayson has taken advantage of Arizona laws in the past that allow write-in candidates to win party primaries with as few as one vote, depending on the circumstances of the race.

His decision to run for a state-level office, a utility regulator, could open up No Labels to state-level financial disclosure requirements, something the group has so far said it is not required to do because it is not running in any state-level races.
