Claudia Griffith, a local state representative since 2014 and candidate for a state senate seat, has died at 67.

The Cleveland County Democratic Party confirmed her death on Saturday. Krystal Golding-Ross, party chair, described Griffith as a leader, mentor and important figure in the community.

"We're completely stunned and heartbroken," Golding-Ross said. "Representative Griffith has been extremely important in the community and she's done incredible things in our state. She has continually been about building the community."

Griffith was a registered nurse and received her Masters degree in public health from the University of Oklahoma. She was the executive director of Health for Friends, a nonprofit that provided specific health services to the underserved. Griffith had been married to her husband, Jim, for 46 years, and they have three children.

Griffith was elected to represent House District 45 in 2014 and again in 2016.

And if you read between the lines, a reader might glean this happened in Oklahoma (since it’s not in the headline or the story).

Maybe Adam smothered her with a pillow or shot her in the back or poisoned her with radioactive pill. Who knows?
