Congressman Tim Griffin (AR-02) issued the following statement today after his Washington, D.C. office shut down as required by the U.S. House of Representatives:
"As I complete my time in Congress, I want to show my appreciation and give a big thanks to the many Arkansans who came up and visited me in my Washington, D.C. office. I enjoyed meeting each and every one of you, and it has been an honor to listen to your views and work for your priorities in Congress.
"With the transition into the 114th Congress, the departing Members are required to vacate their office spaces by late November. Although my Washington, D.C. office shut down today, I encourage my constituents to continue to contact me so that I can help with any concerns or issues with a federal agency. I will continue to work hard and remain dedicated to providing essential and effective services for my constituents until the new Congress begins on January 3, 2015. Until then, Arkansans may also reach out to my district offices, which will be fully operational through the end of my term. It has been my deepest honor to represent Arkansas's Second Congressional District for the past 4 years. It has been a pleasure serving you, and I thank you for this wonderful opportunity."
