Paving the Way for
Decriminalized Marijuana
Denise Paul Hatch ran for Mayor of Indianapolis in 2020 with an important part of her platform advocating for the decriminalization of marijuana. Many legal experts told her it could not be done but voters were excited at the possibility of the change. After the 2020 election, the new Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Myears decriminalized possession of Marijuana under an ounce. As Center Township Constable, and a member of law enforcement, Denise will continue to advocate for the Legalization of Marijuana.
