"I publicly supported Initiative 502 in 2012, which legalized recreational marijuana in Washington State. I believed then, as I do now, that a well-regulated market is preferable to criminalization and the illicit drug trade." (candidate survey response)

"The federal prohibition is outdated and creates unnecessary conflict between state and federal law. I support removing cannabis from Schedule I and allowing states like Washington, where it is already legal, to regulate it without fear of federal overreach." (candidate survey response)

"I support Washington’s legal cannabis model with strong guardrails: adult-only access, clear labeling, safe packaging, and tax revenue directed toward public health, education, and law enforcement. Responsible use should come with responsible policy." (candidate survey response)

On expungement: "If the activity is now legal, it’s reasonable to provide relief to those previously convicted for non-violent possession. I support streamlined, automatic expungement where appropriate, especially when it helps individuals re-enter the workforce and become contributing members of their communities." (candidate survey response)

"Washington voters have made their stance clear. I support decriminalization of small, personal-use possession in line with state law, provided strong penalties remain for trafficking, sales to minors, or operating under the influence." (candidate survey response)

"Patients should have access to effective treatment options, including medical cannabis where it has proven therapeutic value. Washington has had a medical marijuana program for years, and I support continuing that access under proper medical oversight and regulation." (candidate survey response)

HB 1552 - Concerning industrial hemp, 2016

On support for Washington Initiative 502 (decriminalization): “Support. We should take the marijuana business out of the hands of gangs and criminals, just like we did by legalizing alcohol in the 1930s.” [10/22/12]
