Assembly District 1

A leader in 2017 on decriminalization and sponsoring both versions of medical marijuana bills, along with the high support he is showing to constituents, Rep. Kitchens received a high favorable rating as a Republican, but since that time Kitchens has been very quiet on the issue.

Roberta Thelen is a supporter of marijuana reform and has published letters to the editor about the subject.

Assembly District 2

He spoke about marijuana reform on the campaign trail in 2018. He sponsored legislation his first session as a freshman Assembly Representative. He is leading the way to common sense reform within the GOP.

Renee Gasch has been vocal about the need for cannabis reform and her support for the issue.

Assembly District 3

Elected in 2018, Tusler a Republican from Harrison did not sponsor any legislation on marijuana reform in 2019-2020.

But he earned some extra credit points in 2019 by actually calling a voter in his district back after they sent an email to them regarding AB 570, the medical marijuana bill with home grows and smoking allowed, adding onto the potential “YES” votes to this piece of legislation.

Assembly District 4

Would you support changing state law to legalize marijuana and/or cannabis products? If so, under what conditions? If not, why?

In the past, I supported the legalization of the cannabis derivative CBD oil. CBD oil is non-addictive, marijuana-based product that provides proven relief to those suffering from chronic pain, seizures and related medical conditions. However, the topic of universal access to marijuana has been met with strong concerns and opposition from those who deal with this issue on a daily basis, namely those in our health care community, law enforcement officers and educators. Until there is a consensus from those on the front line of this issue in Wisconsin, I will not support this initiative.

Derek Teague is vocal about his support for recreational marijuana and would be an future co-sponsor.
