Alan Grayson May Try Again: ‘I Don’t Want to Waste’ Supporter Base


Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) today left open the possibility of one day running for office again despite being defeated by an 18-point margin last week.

“It’s too early to say,” Grayson said on ABC News’ online show “Top Line.”

“But I do understand that the voters have decided to give someone else a chance for a while, and I’m going to have to find another way to be useful.”

Grayson, who became a hero to progressives over the last year for speaking frankly about his liberal views, noted the 100,000 contributions to his campaign and the “enormous base of volunteers.”

“These are things I don’t want to waste. I don’t want that to atrophy,” he said.
