Tim Griffin Advances in Young Guns Program

The NRCC has named Republican Tim Griffin (AR-02) a ‘Contender’ candidate in its Young Guns program. ‘Contender’ status is the second step in the three-level program, with Griffin now facing a new set of benchmarks to reach ‘Young Gun’ status in his bid to unseat incumbent Democrat Vic Snyder.

As a fifth generation Arkansan, Tim Griffin demonstrates what central Arkansans deserve from their representatives in Congress. Griffin has served in the United States Army Reserve for 13 years, was deployed to Iraq and currently holds the rank of major. He is the former United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas and is a Little Rock community leader, who’s dedication and selfless service to his country and to his community make him an excellent candidate for Congress.

“Tim Griffin has already proven that he will be a formidable candidate by meeting the Young Guns program’s rigorous goals and is well on his way to building a winning campaign to put this seat back in the Republican column,” said NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions. “Tim is part of a strong and growing candidate pool of everyday Americans who are frustrated with the majority’s big-government ways and aren’t willing to stand idly by any longer. His campaign has put Democrats on notice that Americans are ready to turn the page on the failed experiment known as the Obama-Pelosi agenda.”
