Griffith Campaign Welcomes a Friend from the Past

On Friday, October 3, the campaign will be welcoming Jabah Howard to House District 38 as he flies in from Detroit, Michigan to help Steve make the final push toward Election Day. Although it may seem far-fetched for someone to take time away from their own busy schedule and fly across the country to canvass for an Oregon candidate in a House race, the story is actually quite a bit deeper than that.

Some 40 years ago, Jabeh was the first in his family to attend school at Gboveh (B0-Fay) High School in West Liberia, Africa. He eventually made his way to the Detroit area to attend the Lawrence Technological University and earn his degree. He is currently the head mechanical engineer for the entire Detroit school district.

It was a fundraising letter sent early this Summer that brings him now to the Portland area to give back to one of his former teachers during his days at Gboveh High School

Steve was 24 years old when he, via the Peace Corps, made his way to Liberia to teach at Gboveh High School and first met Jabeh, then a 15 year old student. 38 years later Jabeh is returning the good will by lending a helping hand to his campaign.

Friday night will include a gathering in Lake Oswego where supporters can meet both Steve and Jabeh, hear a little bit about politics, and likely a little more about a friendship that has endured over nearly 4 decades and several thousand miles. Saturday will be spent canvassing at the Farmer's Market at Millenium Park in Lake Oswego as well as nearby neighborhoods, and Sunday we will bid farewell to a volunteer who has provided us with our most unique campaign story to date.

Welcome, Jabah. And thank you for helping our cause!
