Voting record

Every vote must state a public reason. Most recent first.

“To accept this legislation would be to turn our backs on the very heart of our nation: our families. We have a sacred duty to protect them from the shadow of drug dependency that threatens to dissolve the foundational bonds of our society. A home is a sanctuary, not a place where we welcome the decay of illicit substances under the guise of "harm reduction". When we signal that drug use is merely a matter for clinics rather than a breach of moral law, we betray the innocence of our youth and leave our families vulnerable to the collapse of order. This proposal is a retreat from the strength, discipline, and traditional values that define a great people. We must stand tall, hold the line of morality, and ensure that our nation remains a safe, upright place where a father can raise his children in virtue. We do not surrender to the vice that destroys our nation, we defend it with the uncompromising resolve our citizens deserve.”

Yes

“This is needed legislation to restore historic wrongs, while giving aid to those in addiction instead of punishment.”
