| Collapse all
- Alabama's backwards and draconian marijuana laws ruin lives and perpetuate the prison pipeline. I want to decriminalize and eventually legalize marijuana across the state and put an end to decades of failed anti-drug policy.
- Alabama is one of the last remaining states with a full grocery tax, meaning that the poor and wealthy alike pay the same tax to keep themselves alike. During this inflationary period, poor Alabamians need all of the economic assistance the state can afford. I will end the grocery tax.
- Alabama's public schools are a complete mess. We don't invest enough in our most precious resource—our children. Every child deserves a top-tier education regardless of where they live, but our elected officials continuously disappoint us. I will reinvest in public education across the state.
