Position on Marijuana Legalization

"Since my teens, I have worked with low-income families and homeless individuals in Humboldt Park, Logan Square and the surrounding area. I’ve seen how marijuana enforcement disproportionately criminalizes black and brown people, making it difficult for them to support families and contribute to their communities. A regulated system of legalized, taxed marijuana would reduce these impacts while creating a major new source of revenue for Illinois." (Chicago Sun Times interview, 03/05/18)
