| Description | Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., made waves last month when he criticized the Republican plan for health care by saying, “The Republicans want you to die quickly if you get sick.” Now a Republican physician is rearranging his plans to challenge Grayson in the 2010 general election.
Dr. Ken Miller planned on challenging Rep. Suzanna Kosmas, D-Fla., in Florida’s 24th Congressional District, but decided to run against Grayson in the 8th District after Republican state Sen. Dan Webster decided not to run.
Miller said in a statement released by his campaign: “My decision was influenced by Grayson’s incendiary and disingenuous comments relative to Republican plans for healthcare reform. As a physician and a Republican, I was and am insulted as much by his arrogance as by the dishonesty of Grayson’s remarks.”
According to the Federal Election Commission’s website, Grayson has two other Republican challengers: Daniel Roy Fanelli and Patricia Sullivan, each with no cash on hand.
The FEC shows Miller still running in the 24th District with $41,452 on hand, and owing $15,000 in debts. Grayson is shown having $477,627 on hand, and owing $1,008,584. |
