Marijuana or lottery.
Easy question!


So, you are getting those passed before you do away with the grocery tax? Not trying to be a pain here but easy answers usually mean a politician is running on dreams...

I can tell you that MJ legalization is not going to happen in your term, so you can count that one out... Lottery is probably closer to passing but still not a given either...

You’ll get our votes with 1 contingency. We need county rd 95 resurfaced from Highway 98 down to Pirates Cove. Thanks and good luck!

How exciting man! You’d have my vote if I were in Baldwin County. Wishing you and your campaign the very best and hope you kick some a$$

I am nothing if not a dreamer, but you're right. It takes a critical mass to enact reforms. And the only way to reach that point is education, but that takes awhile.

And, no offense, but I can tell you this is closer than you think. I've been researching, writing, publishing, and advocating for a decade plus on this, and have been invited by Gov Bentley to be on an opioid task force back in 2017 on drug policy.

Hey bud I live in Florida but have owned a condo in Orange Beach for 20 years. I watched your Overdevelopment will ruin Baldwin County video and you are spot on.

Thanks dude!
Self financing my campaign, so our signs are not large or anything (spent $3600 for 600 yard signs...hindsight being what it is, I would have spent same amount for 300 larger signs).
Feel free to stop by insurance agency today or Monday.

Hi Bama Coaster,
I'm in Chicago burbs so I'm of no help, but my sister, brother-in-law, and 2 over 18 year old kids are in Daphne AL.

Is Daphne part of your district?

If so I can get you 4 more votes

Hey brother. Appreciate the support, but my district does not go that far north. Foley is as far as it goes.

Wonderful... How long has the lottery been floating around? Like I said, it will not pass your first term...

I like what you are saying but it is still talk without any substance...

Kinda like Katie Britt's abortion stance... "I'm a mom and I am against abortion". Ok great talking point with no substance...

Have you invested in yard signs? Are they worth it?

Yes.

No. I bought 600 signs for $3600.
Should have bought 300 signs for same amount, but made them larger.

The only thing I did that was "wise" was that I put some of my platforms on them, like "state lottery", "term limits", and "end grocery tax".

What, specifically, would you like to discuss when it comes to marijuana policy implementation?
