Voting Record, 2026
In 2023 Rep. Griffin voted to require cities and towns to allow four residential dwelling units on any single-family lot served by municipal water and sewer (HB 44). This could be a four-unit building, two duplexes, four single units, or four townhouses. In 2024 Griffin voted for HB 1291 (to increase rights of property owners to build accessory dwelling units) and HB 1399 (to make it easier to convert single family residence into two units), but voted against HB 1400 (to limit parking requirements, plus add tax credits for office conversions). In 2025 Rep. Griffin voted to limit parking requirements in zoning laws (SB 284).
However, in 2025 Rep. Griffin also voted to continue allowing planning boards to differentiate based on the number of bedrooms in a residential development (SB 174).
In 2026 Rep. Griffin also voted to repeal the Housing Champion designation and grant program (HB 1196).

Voting Record, 2026
In 2025 and 2026 Rep. Griffin voted against increasing base per-pupil state school funding (HB 651 and HB 1826). Rep. Griffin then voted to establish a tax cap for local school districts (HB 675). Rep. Griffin also voted against HB 1799, which would have redefined an "adequate education," increased how much funding the state must provide per pupil, and created a commission to study alternative methods of funding public schools besides property taxes. Lastly, Rep. Griffin voted for HB 1815, which pushes back against New Hampshire Supreme Court rulings on what the state must fund for an adequate education.
