CASTRO VALLEY, Calif. — Dr. Angela Griffiths, a longtime California healthcare professional, public health advocate, small business owner and community leader, is running for the United States House of Representatives in California’s 10th Congressional District to replace incumbent Mark DeSaulnier.
Dr. Griffiths is campaigning on a platform focused on strengthening families, improving affordability, protecting public safety, supporting healthcare transparency and prevention, increasing government accountability, protecting election integrity and restoring practical leadership that puts communities before partisan politics.
“For too many California families, the cost of living continues to rise while trust in government continues to fall,” said Griffiths. “Families, seniors, workers, and small business owners deserve leaders who listen, solve problems, and focus on practical solutions that improve everyday life.”

Previously, Griffiths was the CEO and Coach for Gryphon Multisport Fitness from Oct. 2009 to June 2014, Executive Director for The AWAIT & FIND Project from June 1997 to May 2014, and a Non-Profit Consultant/Grants Developer for National Physicians Center from 2000 to 2011.
Her education includes Doctor of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic, a Certified Nutritional Specialist from the American Nutrition Association®, a Masters of Science in Clinical Nutrition & Functional Medicine and a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, both from The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). According to their website IFM is “a global network of practitioners, educators, and advocates dedicated to advancing the transformation of healthcare. Through our educational programs, partnerships, and resources, we empower clinicians to provide personalized, patient-centered care that considers the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.” Their “work extends across diverse areas—from clinical practice to research and advocacy.
She previously founded and led a community-based nonprofit focused on youth development and prevention education and has worked extensively with families seeking healthier outcomes and stronger futures. Dr. Griffiths is also the author of Heal the Children and has served as a speaker, educator, mentor, and healthcare provider throughout California and beyond.

- Cost of Living & Housing Affordability
- Public Safety
- Healthcare Access & Transparency
- Water Security & Infrastructure
- Transportation & Commute Challenges
- Election Integrity & Government Accountability
“I believe Californians are ready to move beyond partisan politics and unite around real solutions and real change,” Griffiths said. “We need leadership that restores accountability, protects opportunity, strengthens families, and helps make California a place where people can once again afford to live, work, raise children, and retire with dignity.”
Her campaign has been endorsed by the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, Reform California and the Contra Costa Republican Party.
A fifth-generation Californian, Dr. Griffiths lives in Castro Valley with her husband and family.
The 10th Congressional District includes Central Contra Costa County, portions of Western and Eastern Contra Costa County, Lamorinda, the San Ramon Valley and portions of Alameda County, including Castro Valley and the unincorporated community of Ashland.
