65% of Americans agree: We have to legalize marijuana.
It's critical to dismantling mass incarceration and institutional racism, and to achieving fundamental justice.

@SenGillibrand showed genuine rural instincts and relatability in Carroll, Iowa today. She's fluent on ag, rural development, and connects naturally with rural voters because she represented more remote part of NY State. Passes what I call "Rotary Club test" in small town Iowa
Vana and the amazing queens at the Blazing Saddle in Des Moines invited me for a visit tonight before their show. I felt underdressed, so I brought a dress I picked up yesterday—turns out it fit me, but it fit Vana even better! Thank you for having me, ladies!
.@oliviahabinck challenged me to an arm-wrestling match for a donation to support @CYDiowa and @iowastatedems. I said game on.
(Spoiler alert: I’m donating either way!)
Our rural Iowa listening tour wrapped today in Harlan, Denison, and Carroll, IA. Someone said they believe I can represent these communities well because I’m “from the Iowa part of New York State”—might have to steal that!
I take this notebook with me to every listening session, and I’ve been filling it on this listening tour through rural Iowa! I don’t assume I have all the answers—I’m here to learn from people, and the rural policy ideas I put out will come in part from these notes and stories.
These heroes deserve our respect and our support. If Congress fails to permanently renew the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, we will have denied them both.

Today we kicked off our rural Iowa listening tour! These small towns don’t get a lot of visits from candidates, but I’m here to learn about locally crucial issues like mental health and rural economic development, hear from Iowans, and take notes. https://medium.com/@SenGillibrand/notes-from-the-road-my-listening-tour-through-rural-iowa-7eb5702cee26?source=linkShare-7d655378f079-1555624692 …

For the first time in the history of the United States a presidential candidate is sitting down one on one with a drag queen to discuss the issues.
This is a huge moment in our history.
