Grayson never gives up. Like a Horse-fly.

Is anyone surprised that Grayson has raised more than double the amount than Soto has?

Grayson's got notoriety, and maybe a bit more gravitas/maturity than Soto. This will draw in the funds, especially from those (and there are plenty) who identify with sharp tongues and crazy. I don't think this district will drop Soto for him, however.

I give Grayson credit for guts and aspirations for glory.

Which is it, "sharp tongues and crazy" or "gravitas/maturity"/
