Political positions
Kissel is a noted opponent of the legalization of marijuana, and has voted against legislation that would legalize the consumption or production of marijuana in Connecticut.[3]
In May 2021, Kissel was the sole Nay vote on a bill to end prison gerrymandering in Connecticut.[4] Kissel's district contains many of the largest prisons in Connecticut, and thus would need to expand if the bill is ultimately implemented.
