LITTLE ROCK, AR — Congressman Tim Griffin announced to Talk Business Arkansas that he will not seek a third term.
“God has blessed me with a wonderful wife, Elizabeth, and two precious children, and for several months Elizabeth and I have been discussing whether to seek a third term in Congress, especially considering the formative ages of Mary Katherine and John. It has been an agonizing and difficult decision involving much prayer, thought and discussion. We have decided that now is the time for me to focus intently on my top priority, my family, as Elizabeth and I raise our two young children,” Griffin tells Talk Business. “To that end, I will not seek re-election to a third term. I will complete my second term, but I have made no decision as to my plans after Congress except that I will continue in public service, including as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserve,” he said.
Griffin was elected in 2010 to his first term in Congress. He currently serves on the House Ways and Means Committee.
