<br>
Dear Mr. Naiman,<br>
<br>
Thank you for contacting me regarding your support for the McClintock-Polis Amendment to the Commerce Justice and Science Appropriations bill.  I appreciate hearing from constituents in my district and the time you took to share your thoughts.<br>
<br>
I supported the McClintock-Polis Amendment because I believe the federal government should not impede on states' rights to make their own decisions and laws regarding medical marijuana.  In fact states have already imposed laws to sell, regulate, and distribute marijuana for medicinal purposes and I support the right of the states to make those decisions.<br>
    <br>
Again, thank you for contacting me regarding this important issue, as your member of Congress I will continue to be a strong advocate for states' rights.  Please let me know if my office can be of assistance to you in the future. In addition, if you would like to stay informed on what is happening in Washington, DC and around the 13th District, I encourage you to sign up to receive my e-newsletter by visiting <a href="https://rodneydavis.house.gov/contact/newsletter" target="_blank">https://rodneydavis.house.gov/contact/newsletter</a>. It is truly an honor to represent you.<br></span></td>
