Thank you Kelly’s Green in Wauwatosa for all you do, your recent Save Hemp Rally made lots of news and drew many candidates, showing how bipartisan of an issue hemp cannabis is: ![4624](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex055/uploads/wcic/original/1X/10799b9aa3accf688812ed874da87270c04ab740.jpeg) ---

Full Name David Sanchez Date 7/23/26 Email [sanchezforwi@gmail.com](mailto:sanchezforwi@gmail.com) Phone Number 414-215-0411 Office Sought: Wisconsin State Assembly - District 13 Do you currently or have you previously held public office? N/A Is there any cannabis related legislation you have sponsored, co-sponsored, or publicly supported? Would you like to provide a brief statement about your stance on cannabis reform? Alongside Erin Kelly (Kelly’s Greens in Wauwatosa) I have publicly called for the immediate legalization of hemp to preserve an existing $700M industry in Wisconsin. Do you think individual states should keep their laws in line with federal laws regarding the legalization of cannabis? No Do you support ending federal prohibition of cannabis? Yes Do you support regulating the HDC (hemp derived cannabinoid) market created under the Industrial Hemp Program / Federal Farm Bill? Yes If answered YES to the above question about regulating HDC’s, would you support the 2025-26 legislation Senate Bill 682 and Asseembly Bill 747, commonly known as the Testin/Kurtz HDC Reg Bill? Yes Do you support legalizing and regulating the responsible use of cannabis by adults in the state of Wisconsin? Yes Would you support a two year moratorium implementing any excise tax to evaluate true administration/regulation costs before automatically attaching an exise tax to a regulation program? Unsure - I Have Questions If you support an excise tax above and beyond what is needed to administer a regulation program, what percentage of excise tax do you feel is appropriate? Where do you think excise tax should be spent? I support establishing a competitive retail excise tax (e.g. 10-12%) to keep prices lower than or equal to neighboring states and stop the flow of tax revenue across state lines. Beyond covering administrative and regulatory costs, surplus tax revenue should be dedicated to community reinvestment and local economic development in areas disproportionately affected by past prohibition. Do you think cannabis should be classified as a Schedule 1 drug? No Do you support medical use of cannabis in the State of Wisconsin? Yes If you support medical use of cannabis, do you also support patient’s rights to cultivate their own medicine or assign caregivers to do it for them? Yes Do you support decriminalization of cannabis in the State of Wisconsin? Yes Do you support automatic expungement of non-violent cannabis possession convictions? Yes Would you (join, support or not support) The Wisconsin Cannabis Caucus Support Is there anything that we have missed or that you would like more information on, please do not hesitate to ask. If you are interested in speaking with a stakeholder in the industry or participating in any election coverage events such as farm or production tours, webinars, zoom town halls or if you are willing to host a hemp cannabis specific event in your district, please provide additional information below: Erin Kelly (Kelly’s Greens, Wauwatosa) has been instrumental in helping me understand the current state of affairs, the ongoing legislative work to legalize hemp and cannabis, and has given me opportunities to speak out publicly in favor of reform. If elected, I would plan to be a productive ally of the cannabis industry. ---
