Arizona Daily Star/Tucson.com article on Clean Elections Commission's lawsuit against the No Labels Party's name change mentions Richard Grayson

Today, Friday, November 28, 2025, The Arizona Daily Star/Tucson.com published an article by Howard Fischer, "Arizona commission will sue to block political party's name change." 

The article began: 

Ignoring threats of being sued themselves, the Citizens Clean Elections Commission voted Friday to go to court to block the No Labels Party from rebranding itself as the Arizona Independent Party. The panel voted 4-1 to challenge the decision last month by Secretary of State Adrian Fontes to permit the name change.

Towards the end of the article, Richard Grayson's name came up:

There are about 47,000 people who signed up with the No Labels Party. Fontes' move appears to now automatically change their registration to the Arizona Independent Party.

That drew a complaint from Richard Grayson, a member of the No Labels Party who ran unsuccessfully as its nominee earlier this year in the special election in Congressional District 7.

He argued that the Arizona Independent Party is not simply a home for those who don't align with the major parties. Instead, he said, it has a belief system of its own.

He cited the party's web page, which lists among its beliefs that the U.S. military is "strongest in the world,'' that the party supports "strong borders and a workable immigration system,'' and an "all-of-the-above energy strategy'' including oil, gas, nuclear and renewables.

"So it's not an independent party,'' Grayson said. "They have an ideology."

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.

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.
