As a candidate for office this elected official had made positives statements about supporting medical marijuana and decriminalization. Early in the legislation session she signed onto a bill to protect the privacy of firearms owners should Wisconsin ever go medical. We had high hopes, as she is one of the limited number of elected officials a medical background. Her Spring 2019 GOP Survey showed over 68% supported medical marijuana and patients had high hopes she would sponsor legislation her first session. Patients were disappointed she did not sign onto either version of the medical marijuana bills this session. Without sponsoring more legislation or co-sponsoring the current decriminalization bill, this elected official is holding a C- rating.

Opposed
Supported as a candidate in campaign statements:
There have been discussions recently about legalizing medical marijuana in Wisconsin. This is something that I am in favor of. I understand that cancer patients and people suffering from Parkinson’s disease can benefit greatly from using medical marijuana to control pain and manage symptoms. If medical marijuana leads to a better quality of life for seriously ill patients, then they should not be robbed of the possibility of some comfort without turning into a criminal.
