All we know at this point about this Assembly Representative is that he is Republican, served a few terms, never co-authored any marijuana reform since elected and is a member of the Assembly Committee on State Affairs that is in charge of medical marijuana this session.
During 2019, the Assembly Republicans prefiled a bill for the 2020 legislative session to create a medical marijuana program in Wisconsin (Assembly Bill 750) which he failed to co-sponsor.
March 2020 Republicans circulated a decriminalization bill for co-sponsorship which he failed to co-sponsor.
Both medical marijuana bills (AB 683-no home grows and AB570 home grows) this session landed in his committee.
We need a public hearing scheduled from this committee.
