Sen. Murphy, Christopher S. [D-CT]

This brings the total sponsors to 13, up from the original 3. The current sponsors indicate bipartisan support.

Sen. McConnell, Mitch [R-KY] is the Senate Majority Leader, one of the original sponsors, and has historically shown support for hemp legalization (Hemp is legal in Kentucky).
