1. “Things you didn’t know about Wendell Griffen”
Take a look at Judge Wendell Griffen’s long arc of public service, justice, and community in Pulaski County. From segregated schools and underfunded classrooms to the modern-day courtroom, this story is about accountability and believing your local government must work for everyone, not just the powerful.
Judge Griffen’s campaign is rooted in leadership and the willingness to stand up to entrenched interests and put people first.
