Lee Griffin is the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Pennsylvania’s 12th congressional district. Griffin grew up the son of two public school teachers in a house his father built. Like his family before him, he was deeply committed to the beautiful landscape and culture in Pennsylvania, first as an Eagle Scout and then as an honors student. After college, he gained experience in business and logistics and then taught English in Taiwan.
Griffin’s roots in rural Pennsylvania and his experiences abroad have shaped his priorities, particularly in championing affordable health care and fighting the climate crisis. Even before the pandemic, many of his neighbors lacked health care coverage and were forced to ration life saving drugs like insulin. Griffin believes it’s going to take all parts of society to band together to address the threat of climate change. Recently, Griffin was moved to support the protests of the senseless deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arber. Griffin has also championed the recent Supreme Court Decision to protect LGBTQ+ workers and has given his unequivocal support to protect his fellow citizens’ rights.
Griffin is running to unseat Republican Fred Keller, who has held the seat since 2018. Keller’s voting record and public statements echo his Republican leaders in Washington. Keller voted against the new police reform bill, even though it has broad public support. When Keller was a state representative, he voted to take away food stamps and Medicaid from his neighbors. In the middle of a pandemic, Fred Keller joined Republicans in their near unanimous vote against full extended unemployment insurance, stimulus checks, support for health care systems, protective gear and testing for frontline workers, mail-in election funding, funding for state budget shortages to prevent layoffs, and new small business loans.
Lee Griffin is the clear progressive choice in this race.Lee Griffin
