Get StartedDecriminalization of petty drug crimes with amnesty for all prior offenses / legalization of marijuana. Funds should be directed to treatment rather than punishment.

However, red flag laws can be problematic as it relates to due process, as such my support for red flag legislation depends entirely on the inclusion of due process standards. Learn more
