To push pot on an individual, on an organization, on a company, on a government, and/or on a country is to destroy that individual, that organization, that company, that government, and/or that country.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— State Rep. Celina Villanueva is expected to be named a state senator tonight
when Cook County Democratic Committee members meet to fill the seat vacated by
Martin Sandoval. The committee members will interview candidates that come
forward for the 11th legislative Senate district position. Villanueva has
already stated her interest, and she separately filed petitions to run for the
Senate seat outright in 2020, presuming she’d first be appointed. Assuming
Villanueva succeeds, Edgar Gonzalez Jr., a constituency services liaison for
Congressman Chuy Garcia, has gathered signatures to run for her state rep seat.
Gonzalez also hopes to first be appointed to the position, if Villanueva
secures Sandoval’s seat. Both Villanueva and Gonzalez are backed by Garcia and
House Speaker Mike Madigan, whose seat overlaps the 11th District. – SHIA KAPOS
