Policy Positions
Criminal Justice(2)
Supports legalizing marijuana at both the state and national level, arguing it would reduce drug arrests, decrease prison overcrowding, and free up resources for more serious offenses.
"Legalizing marijuana would reduce the number of people incarcerated for low-level drug crimes, freeing up resources to target more serious offenses."
Supports reducing incarceration of non-violent drug offenders through marijuana legalization, noting marijuana arrests account for over half of all drug arrests.
"Legalizing marijuana would also help reduce the number of non-violent drug offenders in prison. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, marijuana arrests account for over half of all drug arrests in the United States."
Economy(2)
Supports cannabis legalization as a progressive fiscal policy to generate government revenue, pointing to Illinois's $445 million in marijuana tax revenue as a model for balancing budgets.
"Last year alone the state of Illinois brought in $445 million in taxes from marijuana alone, millions of that coming from the pockets of hard-working Wisconsinites. If these 'fiscal conservatives' really wanted to balance the budget and improve funding for their constituents then they'll need some progressive policies to help them do that."
Opposes the current practice of directing large amounts of tax dollars to corporations and tax cuts at the expense of community investment.
"However, what we've seen is large amounts of our tax dollars go to corporations and tax cuts. All of this while lowering the amount of tax dollars seen to help improve our own communities."

Healthcare(3)
Strongly supports women's reproductive rights including abortion access, contraception, IVF, and comprehensive reproductive healthcare regardless of socioeconomic status or location.
"I understand that reproductive freedom is not just about abortion—it's about comprehensive healthcare, access to contraception, access to in vitro fertilization, the ability to plan for a family, and the ability to make informed choices about our bodies and our futures. It's about recognizing that every woman deserves access to safe and affordable reproductive healthcare, regardless of her socioeconomic status or geographic location."
