Joyce Griggs, a U.S. Army Lt. Colonel (Retired / Served 33 Years), is the Democratic nominee for U.S. Congress in Georgia's 1st District.
As the sixth of ten children in a sharecropping family, she developed an undeniable drive to be heard. Whether in the field or in the classroom, she focused on getting the most out of every experience, learning well the lessons each would teach—of tenacity, resilience, and possibility. It’s with this same focus that she has managed to navigate life’s challenges in a spirit of promise and excellence. Now Joyce plans to take that spirit to Washington to fight for the citizens of Georgia’s 1st Congressional District.
For decades, Joyce has consistently distinguished herself as a warrior. In both military and civilian arenas, she’s battled to defend those in her charge. She’s fought for our country as a U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, honorably leading and receiving the highest commendations as an intelligence officer. While serving in the U.S. Army, Joyce earned the Bronze Star, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal (with 3 stars), and the Parachutist badge.
