Womack Statement on House Democrat Marijuana Bill
Washington,
December 4, 2020
Washington, DC—December 4, 2020....Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) released the below statement after voting against H.R. 3884, House Democrat legislation that legalizes marijuana. Womack voted against the bill, which does nothing to address the current health and economic issues faced by families and businesses during the ongoing pandemic: “Speaker Pelosi and her shrinking Democrat majority ignored the plight of the American people dealing with the impact of COVID-19. Instead, they used the time to promote the legalization of cannabis among other issues not of any pressing urgency. It’s as if they’re tone-deaf. Americans are hurting. Jobs are being lost. Families are struggling. And their priority is marijuana? The people deserve better.” Congressman Steve Womack (AR-3) has represented Arkansas’s Third Congressional District since 2011. He serves as the Ranking Member of the House Committee on the Budget and is a member of the House Appropriations Committee. ### |
