Charles Walker (R) to challenge Jodi Emerson (D) for AD 91

ByJay Selthofner 10/03/202010/01/2022

Assembly District 91 (Map) in Eau Claire County, mostly the city of Eau Claire.

Eau Claire County 2018 Referendum:

“Should cannabis:”

54% – Be legal for adult, 21years of age and older, recreational or medical use, taxed and regulated like alcohol, with the proceeds from the taxes used for education, healthcare, and infrastructure in Wisconsin?
31% – Be legal for medical purposes only and available only by prescription through a medical dispensary?
15% – Remain a criminally illegal drug as provided under current law?

On September 16, 2020, WisconsinEye senior producer Steve Walters interviewed Charlie Walker (R-Eau Claire) who is running for the 91st Assembly District in the upcoming general election.

For being a jobs and tourism guy, Charlie Walker does not mention or associate marijuana reform with this items, instead… he associates marijuana with huffing and meth? He “thinks” he could support medical marijuana, but the devil is in the details.

Watch and listen to him speak at 9:16 about the marijuana.

VS

As a freshman Democrat in the Assembly, Rep. Emerson stood out as a sponsor of the Adult Use/Medical combination bill we know as “Legalize Marijuana – Legalize Opportunity”. She also sponsored the Decriminalization bill that entered the legislation session late this year. We thank her for her support on the issue and are happy to issue a solid A grade for this Eau Claire area representative.

Holds office State Assembly District 91
