Comments

"We just voted to decriminalize cannabis in the House! I was proud to pass the MORE Act, which:
• Decriminalizes marijuana on a federal level
• Begins to address the injustices of the War on Drugs
• Expunges federal marijuana convictions
Now it’s time for the Senate to act!" (4/1/22)

"In 2019, I voted for legislation to decriminalize cannabis, an important step to reform the cannabis policies that have disproportionately impacted low-income people of color. I support expunging the records of non-violent drug offenders. I also support responsible recreational cannabis legislation that would regulate cannabis like alcohol and help to stimulate the economy." (2022)
