Candidate in race for State House District 65 on Tuesday, November 4, 2025
"I support ending the federal prohibition of marijuana because it’s outdated and wastes resources. States should be free to set their own laws without interference from Washington. Ending prohibition will reduce black-market crime, support small businesses, and let us focus law enforcement on serious issues instead of marijuana possession." (candidate survey response)
"I support legalizing and regulating the recreational use of marijuana for adults 21 and over. A legal, taxed market can generate revenue for schools, public safety, and community programs, while reducing the black market and letting law enforcement focus on serious crimes." (candidate survey response)
On expungement: "I support expunging non-violent marijuana offenses because people shouldn’t carry a lifelong record for something that’s no longer illegal in many states. Clearing these records gives people a fair chance to work, support their families, and move forward." (candidate survey response)
"I support decriminalizing marijuana possession for personal use because no one should face a lifelong criminal record over a small amount. Decriminalization allows law enforcement to focus on serious crimes while giving people a second chance without ruining their future." (candidate survey response)
"I support legalizing the medical use of marijuana because patients deserve safe, legal access to treatments that can improve their quality of life. Doctors not politicians should decide what’s best for their patients." (candidate survey response)
