Dena Minning isn’t widely known in Florida’s 9th Congressional District, but that all could change now that she has taken Rep. Alan Grayson’s last name.
According to Politico, Grayson – who is running for the open Senate seat in the state–married Minning over the weekend.
“Dena Minning promptly became Dena Grayson on Twitter and Facebook,” Politico wrote, a move that may help Dena Grayson win in a competitive Democratic primary.
The Orlando Political Observer reported that “for months the two had been at the center of marriage rumors.”
Politico reported that the wedding would only add to the the tensions in an already contentious primary where former Grayson aide Susannah Randolph was also running for the seat. A year ago when Politico began reporting on the two’s connection, the couple was upset Politico identified Dena Grayson as Alan Grayson’s girlfriend. They would not comment for that story.
On her official Facebook page, Dena Grayson wrote “My handsome, brilliant, and amazing husband, Alan Grayson!!.”
Strategic marriages–how Game of Thrones-ish

Looks like Dena Grayson doesn’t want to be in Clowngress that badly…
I’m not sure which is worse, the picture in this article or the one of the Libertarian guy stripped down to a thong. Urgh…
So, two women who were/are associated with Grayson vying for his old congressional seat. Sounds like an incestuous sort of situation going on. None too pretty…
