Chairman Walden’s Statement on Congressman Tim Griffin’s Retirement
WASHINGTON – Today, National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Greg Walden (R-OR) released the following statement in response to Rep. Tim Griffin’s (R-AR) announcement he will not be running for reelection:
“Tim Griffin has been a superb and dedicated member of Congress who has represented the people of Arkansas with a passion and commitment to improving their lives and making this country stronger. In particular, Tim has been a leader in fighting to protect his constituents from the negative impacts of ObamaCare, sponsoring legislation to ensure that small businesses are not burdened with the onerous mandates of this flawed law.
“Tim is also the ultimate team player. As Vice Chairman for Communications and Strategy this cycle at the NRCC, Tim has helped strengthen our majority and improve our party’s message. While we will all miss him tremendously, I wish Tim and his family the very best and look forward to electing a Republican from Arkansas’ 2nd District to fill his shoes and carry on his work.”
