Carter Commends President Biden’s New Marijuana Pardons | 2023-12-22 | 2023 | 2023-12 | Democrat | House | LA | Troy A. Carter | C001125 | troycarter.house.gov | troycarter | https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-La.) issued the following statement commending new marijuana pardons and clemencies by President Biden. “In April of last year, I met with the White House to discuss pardons and clemency for individuals incarcerated for marijuana possession. These offenses have disproportionally impacted Black Americans, creating barriers to employment, education, and housing. I commend today’s announcement as a positive step towards correcting this injustice. This is the vital next step to give thousands of people their lives back. “Now, I call on Congress to pass my misdemeanor expungement legislation so that these returning citizens can fully move on with their lives."
