Zoe Russell

Zoe Russell is the Assistant Director of Republicans Against Marijuana Prohibition (RAMP). She is a native Houstonian and current law school student at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio. Her background in economics led her to embrace small government, fiscally conservative principles, and Republican politics. As a believer in free markets and capitalism, she has long been opposed to marijuana prohibition for the simple reason that it doesn’t work.

After joining Ann Lee, the founder of RAMP, in January 2014, Zoe has met a great number of Republicans that agree marijuana prohibition is unfair and ineffective.

Before law school, Zoe worked in transportation and logistics during the day while volunteering for Republican city, county, state, and national campaigns in the evenings and weekends. She was a state delegate to the 2012 and 2014 Republican conventions, where RAMP pushed for a medical marijuana resolution in the Republican platform, and will be back again in 2016.
