Alan Grayson headed back to Congress

Former Congressman and outspoken liberal Alan Grayson is headed back to Congress from central Florida.

With 70 percent of District 9 precincts reporting, Grayson had 62 percent of the vote, defeating his Republican challenger, conservative radio host Todd Long.


Grayson was a freshman representative when he was soundly defeated two years ago. He’s eyed a return ever since and amassed a huge fundraising advantage against Long, more than 44-to-1.

Grayson was known as one of the most vocal partisans on Capitol Hill, perhaps best known for saying Republicans’ health care plan amounted to hoping people “die quickly.”
