Incumbent Gayle Harrell, Republican keeps her 2-LEAF rating as she continues to vote with the majority. Harrell lead the effort to cap THC at 10% last year.

Democrat Corinna Balderramos Robinson is also on the ballot, but was not available to answer our questionnaire.

Gayle Harrell is an outspoken objector. She is opposed to medical marijuana, and she plays the ‘public safety’ card and ‘save the children’ to justify her opposition to Cannabis reforms. Gayle votes the party line, so based on her vote she gets a 2-leaf rating. The Senate leadership is conservative and if more anti-Cannabis candidates are elected to the Senate Gayle will be a powerful enemy to progress.

It will be tough to beat Gayle Harrell in the general election in November, but pro-Cannabis voters need a better choice than Gayle Harrell.
