Key Issues and Political Platform of Jay Selthofner
Jay Selthofner ran for Wisconsin State Assembly in District 41. Jay ran on a platform of legalizing hemp and cannabis, but that is not the only thing that he stands for. If elected, he would have championed any issue which the voters of his district supported. This page contained answers to the questions he received most frequently during his campaign.
==
I have focused on the hemp cannabis marijuana issue because it addresses several areas of overall concern within one conversation. Marijuana law reform is supported by the general public, and in the course of my work in the district over the past year I have found overwhelming support for the issue from all types of people from all walks of life, each with a unique story and viewpoint on the matter.
The drug war can be linked to many very serious problems, both social and economical. We could address so many problems in our society, while bringing jobs to many different sectors, simply by discussing and ultimately changing the un-just drug laws that are currently in place.
The Economy
Given the current economic and environmental crises, Jay believes that Wisconsin should go green by allowing the cultivation of Industrial Hemp, Medical Marijuana, and Recreational Cannabis.
Job Creation
Growing Industrial Hemp, Medical Marijuana, and Recreational Cannabis, would all be great ways to create new jobs. Not only for farmers, but for salesmen, regulators, equipment manufacturers, artisans, and many other related industries. Look at the economy page to see examples of products that can be made with hemp, and just imagine all of the people who would be needed to make and sell all of these products!
Industrial Hemp
Hemp could provide a huge economic boost, reduce fossil fuel use, and benefit us in so many other ways. Let's get growing!
Medical Marijuana
We need to treat sick and dying patients with compassion and respect. Most pain medications are organ damaging, addictive, and have a huge number of side effects. Medical Marijuana can help with pain relief, depression, anxiety, nausea, Parkinsons Disease, and more. People with very serious illnesses, and severe pain, can find relief with medical marijuana.
Recreational Cannabis
The responsible use of recreational cannabis by legal adults who are acting in a safe and responsible manner should not be subject to penalty. We need to decriminalize marijuana for personal recreational use by responsible adults, in the interest of fairness, personal freedom, and compassion.
Raw Milk
if someone wants to drink raw milk, it should be the consumer's choice. As long as the dairy is meeting acceptable safety and health standards, there is no reason people should not be allowed to buy and consume raw milk.
Gun Control
I believe that our constitutional right to keep and bear arms should be protected. I do believe that background checks, waiting periods, and other rules and regulations should be required as part of the process. But beyond that, adult citizens have the constitutional right to bear arms, and this protects us all.
Land Conservation
Planting industrial hemp is a great way to remove toxins from polluted land, and has been successfully used to purify water and marsh areas.
Education
As a father of 3 and a concerned citizen, the highest possible quality of education is of the utmost importance to Jay. He has tried to do his part to educate the public about hemp cannabis and related topics by organizing such events as the THC Tour, which made stops in several Wisconsin cities and featured speakers from LEAP and other agencies.
The Deer Herd and Hemp
Jay feels that our state's deer herd would benefit greatly from having Industrial hemp grown in our state. Hemp is full of Omega 3 and other beneficial fatty oils, a great source of nutrition for our deer and other wildlife.
More Efficient Local Government
Jay believes in reducing the size of the government whenever possible.
More Efficient Use of Taxpayer Money
Jay believes in eliminating unnecessary spending wherever possible and not wasting taxpayer money with frivolous or unnecessary programs.
