He also sits on the Standing and Cabinet Policy Committees on Resources and Environment. Griffiths was first elected in a by-election for the Wainwright constituency on April 8, 2002, after former incumbent Robert Fischer resigned amidst a conflict-of-interest investigation by the Ethics Commissioner.[2] Then 29, Griffiths was the youngest MLA in office at the time.
