Candidate in race for State House District 41 on Tuesday, June 17, 2025
"I support the legalization of responsible use of cannabis by adults. In Virginia, since 2021, the possession of and personal use of marijuana has been legal for adults. However, Republicans have worked to suppress efforts to open up our marijuana industry. Without access to an adequate number of dispensaries, Virginians are left with scant options including buying and consuming unregulated THC products. If elected, I will push legislation to kickstart Virginia’s cannabis industry. I believe in the right of Virginians to access and responsibly use cannabis." (Candidate Survey Response)
"In 2021, Virginia legalized possession of marijuana in 2021. America is changing and with it, our attitudes and policies surrounding marijuana use. With these changes it is necessary that we reconsider past criminal charges surrounding marijuana usage and possession. Therefore, I strongly believe in the automatic expungement of records related to non-violent marijuana possession charges. My opponent, Chris Obenshain, has spoken out against the legalization of marijuana, calling it a 'failure' created by Virginia democrats. If elected, I will be an advocate for Virginia’s cannabis users." (Candidate Survey Response)
"I support an expansion of Virginia’s medical cannabis program because I am an advocate for a healthier, happier Virginia. I believe that every Virginian deserves access to affordable, quality healthcare. Research has proven that medical marijuana has a myriad of uses: it can help alleviate Virginians from pain. I am a staunch supporter of HB1464 and any legislation that helps Virginians get the treatment they deserve." (Candidate Survey Response)
