Mixed Signals on Hemp: Where Does Rep. Bob Donovan (R) Really Stand?
🤔 Evolution? Flip-flop? Playing both sides?
Here’s a head-scratcher worth talking about: Rep. Bob Donovan — a Republican legislator from the 61st Assembly District — has a mixed track record when it comes to Wisconsin’s hemp bills:
🌿 Authored a bill that effectively bans hemp
🌿 Co-sponsored the Three Tier bill
🌿 Then, reportedly told a hemp advocate he would support the Kurtz/Testin hemp regulation bill
So what’s going on here?
Is this evolution on the issue, political positioning depending on the audience, or just plain indecision?
The 61st Assembly District covers parts of southwest Milwaukee County, including Greendale, Hales Corners, most of Greenfield, and sections of Milwaukee and Franklin — and the folks here deserve clarity from their representative.
If anyone has been in contact with Rep. Bob Donovan, now would be a great time to reach out, clarify his position, and push for concrete co-sponsorship of SB 682 (Kurtz/Testin) — the bipartisan bill that could save Wisconsin’s hemp industry.
📣 This is exactly the kind of situation where activist pressure, consistent follow-up, and direct engagement can move a legislator from ambiguity to accountability.
