Issues

Minimum wage

In April 2014, Davis supported an increase of Vermont's minimum wage to $10.10. “Businesses across the U.S. are not as concerned what their employees make, but rather how much their customers have in their pockets to spend,” she said. “I vote for a raise in the minimum wage and for putting more money directly into the pockets of our low wage workers.”^[2]

Marijuana legalization

In the months following the decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana in Vermont, Davis voiced her support for full legalization. She was quoted in a September 2013 Marijuana Policy Project press release as saying that, "[m]arijuana prohibition in our state is wasting time and money that could be better used to deal with serious crime. It has no effect on availability and only enriches criminals. If we tax and regulate marijuana like alcohol, we can save our limited law enforcement resources while creating local jobs and tax revenue. It is time for a sensible approach on this issue."^[3]
