Fitzgerald was a NO to anything marijuana and even opposed allowing public hearings on his watch as a Wisconsin State Senator. He was labeled as an obstacle to decriminalization from even conservative measures by fellow Republicans going back to 2017.
His lack of compassion was just as evident as his lack of education on the issue of medical cannabis. The sick, dying and disabled of Wisconsin suffered under his control and patients within his districts ending up dying while being insulted by this prohibitionist.
Adult use marijuana is known as recreational marijuana in the news at times. We are unsure if this guy has every had any recreational fun in his life, but it is ironic that he worked in Madison Wisconsin where weed is basically legal and now he works in Washington D.C. where weed is legal. His district he left behind supports reform and so does the guy who replaced the State Senate Fitz left behind.
Will money change Fitzgerald and his stance on cannabis? His first vote on the issue concerned money/banking and he voted yes…. maybe it was by mistake…..

"We’ve got all these issues. We’re spending all this not only revenue, but just energy trying to get a control on these substances that are just wreaking havoc across the state. I don’t know why this is a good time to introduce legal marijuana in Wisconsin.” (12/21/19)
