Do you support mandatory minimum prison sentences for people charged with drug possession?

  Party’s support baseYes

Chris Carr’s answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT Party Research

Strongly agree

Yes, but mandatory prison for dealers and mandatory rehab for users

Many Republicans would likely support mandatory minimum sentences for drug dealers, as they view drug dealing as a more serious offense than drug use. This stance is in line with the party's traditional tough-on-crime approach. However, there is a growing faction within the party that supports criminal justice reform and may not fully agree with mandatory minimums even for drug dealers.
