He spent the early part of his career working at the intersection of Hollywood and politics, forming the successful political and public affairs firm, Griffin|Schake. Together with business partner Kristina Schake, Griffin led high-profile campaigns around renewable energy, land conservation, stem-cell research, early childhood education, anti-tobacco and of course, marriage equality. He represented and advised high net-worth individuals, families and foundations, as well as some of the nationâs most prominent leaders in the entertainment community, in their political and philanthropic endeavors.
A native of Hope, Arkansas, Griffin got his start in the press office of President Bill Clintonâs White House at the age of 19, becoming the youngest West Wing staffer ever. He is a graduate of Georgetown Universityâs School of Foreign Service. Griffin currently serves on the board of The Leadership Conference for Civil and Human Rights and resides in Washington, D.C.
âOne of the last events I did during the campaign was an event in North Carolina with [out California Rep. Mark Takano in the LGBT community. I think it was perhaps the first LGBT DCCC fundraising event in that city in memory,â he says. âWhat we saw throughout the country was the extraordinary level of activism among all Americansâbut particularly within the LGBT community. And I think both Chad [Griffin] and HRC [the Human Rights Campaign] and the broader community deserve a lot of credit for the results.â

Interesting! I never knew of that base. That story threw me for a loop when it said base is near Las Vegas. WTF?! I never heard of that. But then on map I see its near Las Vegas, New Mexico. From your linked article...

If only a tiny percentage of the worldâs Scientologists ever get the chance to visit or work at Int Base, almost none of the top officials at Int Base knew anything about CSTâs super-secret headquarters, even though it was just some 50 miles away. Amy Scobee, for example, a top former Sea Org executive for more than 20 years, told us sheâd never known where CSTâs HQ was located until she left the church.
Most Scientologists today canât even agree what to call the place. Some call CSTâs headquarters compound âTwin Peaksâ for a nearby community, others âRim of the Worldâ for a nearby highway, still others call it âRimforestâ or âCrestline,â for two local villages.
In this map, we place the relative positions of Scientologyâs administrative headquarters in Los Angeles (known as âBig Blueâ for its paint scheme, and âPAC Baseâ for Pacific Area Command), Int Base near Hemet (to the right, on the map), and, nearer the top of the map, the location of CSTâs headquarters compound, Twin PeaksâŚ
