Issue Position: Criminal Justice Reform

Issue Position

I support all efforts to further reform measures to our state's criminal justice system that lead to a reduction in incarceration rates.

​

Nobody should go to jail for being unable to pay a ticket for minor traffic violations. I will introduce a bill calling for the decriminalization of all minor traffic violations.

​

I am also committed to reducing the penalties for the possession of marijuana. Using the City of Clarkston's ordinance as a model, I will seek to pass commonsense legislation that prohibits jail-time for possessing less than 1 ounce of marijuana.
