Alan Grayson Senate campaign manager Doug Dodson is out

09f179c

Two weeks ago, rumors began circulating that there might be some shake-ups in Alan Grayson‘s campaign for the Democratic nomination for Senate.

Apparently those rumors were accurate, as both POLITICO and the Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald reported on Tuesday that campaign manager Doug Dodson had left the campaign.

The Herald’s Amy Sherman also reports that Deputy campaign manager David Keith has left the campaign, and Senior Adviser and campaign spokesman Kevin Franck would soon be leaving.

Franck declined to respond to our inquiries when we asked about the rumors last month.

Grayson is in an intense contest against fellow Florida Congressman Patrick Murphy for the nomination for U.S. Senate in 2016.
