Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker officially announced his 2016 presidential bid on Monday, becoming the 15th Republican candidate to enter the race for the White House. “Americans deserve a leader who will fight and win for them,” Walker said in a tweet posted early Monday morning. The Republican governor is already well-known for his track record on public unions, worker’s rights and abortion, but where does Walker stand on legalizing marijuana? His position seems to be in line with most of his GOP challengers.

Walker’s home state has been working on legislation to decriminalize marijuana and legalize it for recreational use. In April, state Rep. Melissa Sargent introduced, for the second time, a measure that would allow Wisconsin residents over the age of 21 to possess half an ounce of pot. The bill is backed by the Wisconsin Cannabis Project, who said in a statement at that the time that it’s the perfect legislation for a conservative like Walker to support.
