“It’s definitely a conversation that needs to happen. My house is just a couple of miles from the Michigan border and it seems a touch ridiculous to me that something can be legal there and a felony just across the bridge.” He added, “everyone knows that Big Business has great representation in Madison–it’s the everyday people of Wisconsin who need it. I will put people first and represent the citizens of Wisconsin. I will work to make Wisconsin a place where our children want to stay and raise their own families.“ - source

While not a marijuana user myself, I support legalizing and regulating the responsible use of marijuana by adults. As we have seen, adult use marijuana laws are not associated with an uptick overall criminal activity and marijuana regulation is associated with increased tax revenue and job creation.
I support legalizing the medical use of marijuana in Wisconsin, and I support ending the federal prohibition of marijuana. Medical cannabis regulatory laws are not associated with an uptick overall criminal activity.
I support the expungement of non-violent marijuana possession convictions. Wisconsin has the highest rate of racial disparity in the Country and expunging of non-violent marijuana possession convictions will contribute to improving that statistic. African Americans are arrested for violating marijuana possession laws at nearly four times the rates of whites, yet both ethnicities consume marijuana at roughly the same rates. Our communities are strongest when all individuals are treated fairly and have equal justice under the law.
