changing Minning to Grayson.
I mean, come on--you cannot be that gullible. She's on her honeymoon and she has time to edit her frigging page? Not too calculating at all. I hope the voters are not that stupid.
This doesn't sound like an altruist to me--read the actual WORDS in this article--she's not doing this to be "nice," she is doing it--like that sleazy former SECDEF Rumsfeld did w/anthrax--to make a KILLING off of the US government--the translation of the first paragraph, simply, is "She knows how to raise money to make drugs to sell drugs to make money"--that's how she USED to market herself, before she got politically ambitious and tried to remake herself as Florence Nightingale:
In addition to her medical degree and Ph.D, Minning is the founder and president of MedExpert Consulting, a firm that, according to her LinkedIn page, “leverages Dr. Minning’s unique combination of executive leadership, successful fundraising, and drug development expertise, along with experience in business development and market research and forecasting to maximize the potential of drug candidates and position companies for future strategic opportunities.”
Minning in 2013 and 2014 was also a registered federal lobbyist for MedExpert on behalf of a company called “BioCryst Pharmaceuticals” and sought “funding for development of medical countermeasures directed against bioterrorism agents that pose a significant threat to public health and national security,” according to her lobbyist disclosures. Minning’s LinkedIN page says she also “played a central role in successfully procuring a $25+ million contract from the US Government, awarded to one of her clients for the development of a broad-spectrum antiviral drug.”
Make shit that we don't really need, then lobby/soften up Congress to buy it (we'll make it in YOUR district!) and laugh all the way to the bank. Please. That shit will rot in store rooms for a decade or more, and then be thrown out, and she will be paid again to make more.
Alan Grayson screwed over a long-term member of his OWN staff, who expected his endorsement when that staffer ran for his seat--boy, did she learn how easily it was to be brutally BLINDSIDED by this guy, when she had to be told by frigging POLITICO that her OWN boss was backing his (at the time, low key) gal pal--bet it gave her enormous sympathy for the Ex!
Grayson’s statement bashing insiders for trying to “choose our party nominee” has a measure of irony in light of Minning’s interest in running for the seat. Minning’s potential candidacy could
cause a rift in Grayson’s own office because his district director and longtime campaign adviser, Susannah Randolph, is considering a bid for the congressional seat if he vacates it.
“I wouldn’t say I’m interested. Yeah, I’d consider it for sure. But that’s only if Alan runs for Senate, and I’m not sure if that’s going to happen or not,” she said. “It all depends on what Alan does, and there’s no set course.”
When asked about the reports of Minning’s interest in the seat, Randolph said she was surprised. “I’m speechless,” Randolph said.

Sleazy, sleazy guy. He is one of the WORST with a (D) after his name. I wish he'd leave the party, because he's an embarrassment.
