"It's past time for federal law to catch up with states like Illinois that have already decriminalized marijuana. I was proud to vote in favor of the #MOREAct on the House Floor today." 12/4/20

"One mistake should not ruin a student's future," Foster said. "These kinds of convictions can adversely affect a student's education since they could lose financial aid immediately upon conviction and must enter a program that takes up to six months to complete. I want all students to have the opportunity to succeed. This legislation would ensure that students can stay in school while they complete the required rehabilitation program."
