Voters who care about marijuana policy reform should know that there is a very clear contrast between the candidates for governor:
- Democratic candidate Ned Lamont strongly supports legalization, regulation, and taxation of marijuana. “It’s an idea whose time has come, and I’m going to push it in the first year,” he said.
- Republican candidate Bob Stefanowski does not currently support legalization. “Maybe at some point we should look at legalizing marijuana … but we’ve got so many fundamental problems in this state… Let’s fix the economy first,” he said.
Please share this information with your friends and family and remind them to vote on Tuesday, November 6!
