Delafield Listening Session

Kapenga is up for re-election in 2026, and while he represents a solidly Republican district, that doesn’t mean voters should accept stale leadership or outdated thinking. If he continues pushing prohibition while blocking reasonable regulation supported by both parties, he deserves a primary challenge. A competitive primary is often the only thing that forces entrenched politicians to actually listen to their constituents.

And constituents should be heard.
Legislators work for the public. Contacting them—respectfully but persistently—is a fundamental part of democracy. If Sen. Kapenga is going to position himself as the chief obstacle to hemp and cannabis regulation, then constituents have every right to call his office, ask hard questions, and demand accountability for the economic harm his policies threaten. We all should call him and ask him to hold a public hearing on Senate Bill 644 (Democrats Hemp Bill) and SB 1045 (Democrats Legalization Bill), that I know for sure.

His public posts make his views crystal clear. Your calls and emails can make your views just as clear.

Currently Senator Kapenga is the Chair of the Committee that is holding the marijuana legalization bill hostage in his committee.
