Griffith sent the following statement to Ballotpedia regarding his political philosophy:[1]
| “ |
Seek to understand, not to be understood. It seems that in our current political climate there are many loud voices but nobody willing to listen to the everyday man. If elected, I will not push a particular political agenda other than that brought to me by my neighbors. It's that simple. [2] |
