In May 2016, Grayson married to former Floridian congressman Alan Grayson. Grayson’s maiden name is Minning. Alan Grayson’s spokeswoman Brook Hines said of the couple’s nuptials, “Rep. Alan Grayson and his wife Dr. Dena Grayson had a small, private wedding ceremony Sunday evening, with friends and family in attendance to celebrate their union, in the Florida beach town where Dena grew up.” Later that year, Grayson ran unsuccessfully in the Democratic primary for her husband’s congressional seat. Alan Grayson vacated in an attempt to gain the Democratic nomination to challenge Senator Marco Rubio in Florida.
The couple has been together since 2014 while Florida Politics reports that they have been engaged since last March and moved into together in Orange County at this point. The website adds that Grayson’s 25-year marriage to Lolita Grayson officially ended in the summer of 2015 “after extended and often ugly litigation.”

On her campaign website, Minning talks about her medical career saying:
As a doctor, I provided patients the medical treatment they needed and deserved, regardless of their ability to pay.
In Congress, I will work to ensure that everyone can get the care that they need be healthy and stay alive by reducing the cost of insurance, extending the coverage of employees, and expanding Medicaid.
I will also protect the health of our seniors by expanding Medicare to cover eyes, ears and teeth.
