What they stand for
Griffith has spent years focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Supports federal scheduling of fentanyl analoguesGriffith sponsored the HALT Fentanyl Act in successive Congresses (H.R.467 and H.R.27), legislation that would permanently place fentanyl-related substances in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. Both versions attracted between 50 and 99 cosponsors and were referred to committee.
- 02Voted against multiple enacted continuing appropriations billsGriffith cast votes against final passage of six continuing appropriations measures that became law — H.R.9747, H.R.2872, H.R.6363, H.R.5860, H.R.7463, and H.R.7454 — each time voting against the majority of his party in the House.
- 03Supports streamlined nuclear licensing proceduresGriffith sponsored H.R.5549, the Efficient Nuclear Licensing Hearings Act, a reintroduced bill in committee that would modify federal hearing procedures for nuclear facility licensing, reflecting a legislative interest in nuclear energy regulation.
- 04Voted against the Social Security Fairness ActGriffith voted against final passage of H.R.82, the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023, which became law. His vote was against the majority of House Republicans on final passage.
- 05Sponsored enacted legislation and military honors measureGriffith sponsored H.J.Res.61, a joint resolution of congressional disapproval under the Congressional Review Act that was enacted, and H.R.7211, an enacted bill authorizing the President to award the Medal of Honor posthumously to Marine Colonel John W.
