HEY, John!
If we haven’t met yet, I’m Jordan, and I’m John Fettermans’s Cannabis Coalition Director.
Today, I’m coming to you with a major announcement. Yesterday, the U.S House passed the MORE Act to decriminalize weed. AMAZING, right?
Except… we already know that the Senate isn’t going to vote the same way (if they even bring this up for a vote at all).
There are a MILLION reasons why I 100% believe John should be the next U.S. Senator from PA, but right now, my number one reason is this:
John would be the 51st vote the Senate needs to decriminalize weed in the United States. Unlike flip-flopping Conor Lamb, who voted for the very legislation he voted AGAINST in the last Congress, you’ll never have to guess where John stands on legalizing weed.
This isn’t an issue John has had to “evolve” on, John.
First, back in 2016 when other Democrats running for Senate in PA were afraid to go bold on the issue of legal weed, John was a lone voice for full legalization of marijuana, regardless of any political consequences.
Then, in 2018, John *again* chose to make legal weed a key campaign priority in his race for Lt. Governor — something that most other Democrats usually shy away from to this day. (BTW, he and Governor Wolf went on to earn the highest number of votes ever won as a ticket in a Pennsylvania gubernatorial election.)
Now, in his current role as Lt. Governor, John has established an expedited review process for pardons for low-level cannabis charges. These pardons have helped hundreds of deserving Pennsylvanians get their lives back after unjust, racist, and inhumane drug policies ripped them away.
Look, most Senate candidates don’t make legal weed a central part of their campaign platform, but John has. Because it’s not just about making weed safe and accessible for medicinal and recreational use. It’s about righting the racial injustice of Black Americans being nearly 4x more likely than white Americans to be arrested for marijuana.
Thank you SO much for your support,
Jordan
