Welcome to Parker Griffith for Congress |

Welcome to my Congressional Campaign Website.
I am running to represent Alabama’s 5th Congressional District and carry on a proud tradition of effective service and common sense leadership in Washington. In North Alabama, we care deeply about faith and family, but we are tired of partisan politics in our nation’s capital. The time for results and action is now. I am running because I believe my experience will bring a new voice to Congress and new ideas to reduce the cost of health care, increase investment in our children’s education, and continue the support of key federal programs across North Alabama.

those areas could wind up in a draw and each just keep the seat they
already have.

Legislature votes to exempt stimulus checks |
By Kim Chandler

Members of both parties had endorsed the bill, but it failed to pass in the regular session that concluded May 19.
"This
is an opportunity to cut taxes for Alabama citizens. I think the people
of Alabama are watching us on this issue. We bragged about it," Sen.
Parker Griffith, D-Huntsville, said before the vote.
