Co-sponsored Legislation

"I have supported every piece of cannabis legislation in the Legislature. I voted for the adult use initiative when it was on the ballot.

In prior sessions, I have worked on DUI issues as well as labeling legislation." - As submitted to the 'NORML Candidate Questionnaire' September 2022

"I publicly supported our ballot initiative here that led to the establishement of a regulated, adult use market. I sponsored AB135 from 2017 that mandates a blood draw for marijuana related driving offenses and requires that the labs only test for an impairing metabolite. I sponsored legislation that laid out a process for vacating marijuana related convictions, but our governor vetoed it."- As submitted to the 'NORML Candidate Questionnaire' on 6/1
