Pro-cannabis Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman was able to win a crucial spot as Senator for the state. He won over Republican Dr. Oz in a hotly debated race. This mid term election was possibly one of the most watched in the country, even by non-cannabis advocates. Fetterman has been a staunch supporter of cannabis legalization in his current position as the Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania and made it clear he will continue to work for legalization as Governor. Fetterman has been a very vocal critic of President Biden’s lack of action on federal reform. Now that he’ll be on Capitol Hill, Fetterman’s voice will definitely lend to the strength behind the push for federal legalization. In addition to the Pennsylvania Governors race, South Carolina also had a pivotal cannabis win. This was when Republican cannabis advocate Nancy Mace won a congressional race there. This win will give her a chance to move forward with the States Reform Act, which is a bi-partisan federal cannabis legalization bill she sponsors. In New York, Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer, who is the sponsor of his own CAOA cannabis legislation also won reelection in his state, which gives him more time to work on promoting the ultimate legalization of cannabis.
