Former Florida Rep. Alan Grayson says he's making another run for Congress

His campaign raised just more than $192,000 in the first quarter of 2018, but former U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, a progressive Democrat, has yet to decide on where in the state he’ll make another run for Congress.

But let’s be clear: As Orlando Rising reports Grayson saying on Monday, “I am running for the U.S. House of Representatives.” The decision as to which district, he added, “gets answered during the qualifying period,” which opens on April 30 and runs through May 4.

Grayson, who has stirred up his fair share of controversy over the years, served one term representing the state's 10th Congressional District and two representing the 9th Congressional District in Central Florida. Though Grayson has officially filed to run in Florida’s 11th Congressional District, he has doubled down on the fact that it’s just a holding spot for his paperwork as he continues to raise money for his latest campaign.

But before we dive into the wonk of where Grayson might actually make his run, let’s talk about the tumultuous acts and utterances the former congressman has developed a reputation for in recent years.
