Rep. Parker Griffith Loses Primary

Representative Parker Griffith (R-AL), who represents Huntsville, AL, lost his Republican primary battle yesterday. Rep. Griffith was elected to Congress as a Democrat in 2008, but switched to the Republican party in 2009.

When he was a Democrat, he was a member of the House Science and Technology Committee. He lost that seat when he switched parties, but continued to attend some NASA-related hearings as a non-member, supporting the Constellation program. He lost the Republican primary decisively, 51 percent to 33 percent.
