House Majority Leader Jason Rojas’ PAC Took Cannabis-Linked Money Tied to Crisp Network

CT CannaTimes Editor - 4.4.2026

Three dispensary entities connected to the same business structure made coordinated payments into leadership PAC.

A Leadership PAC, A Single Event, and Three Identical Payments

Jason Rojas, Connecticut House Majority Leader, controls a political action committee that reported receiving $750 from cannabis-related businesses during the filing period covering October 27, 2025 through December 31, 2025.

The money was not reported as typical individual contributions.

Instead, the PAC disclosed three identical $250 payments, all categorized as “Program Ad Purchases” tied to a single fundraising event (Event #09102025A) in its January 10 campaign finance filing.

All three payments were made on the same day.

Three Dispensaries : Same Day, Same Amount, Same Event

The filing identifies the following payments:

• Sara’s Dispensary, LLC — $250

Cromwell, CT

Date: 12/04/2025

• Ty’s Dispensary LLC — $250

Bridgeport, CT

Date: 12/04/2025

• Debbie’s Dispensary LLC — $250

Norwich, CT

Date: 12/04/2025

Each entry is tied to the same fundraising event and reported in the same category.

This is not a scattered set of donations. It is a uniform transaction pattern.

Connected Businesses, Not Isolated Actors

According to a January 9, 2026 settlement agreement issued by the Connecticut Attorney General, these three companies are not independent from one another.

The agreement identifies all three entities as cannabis businesses tied to the “Crisp Cannabis” trade name and provides the following ownership information:

• Sara’s Dispensary, LLC — Sole member/manager: Sara Rose Presler

• Ty’s Dispensary, LLC — Sole member/manager: Tyler Neil Christensen

• Debbie’s Dispensary, LLC — Sole member/manager: Debbie Sue Hunter

Each entity held licensed cannabis operations in Connecticut and adopted the Crisp Cannabis branding in 2025.

The Larger Structure: Mohave CT and Andrew Simonow

The same Attorney General settlement states that:

• Mohave CT, LLC filed notice to acquire 100% ownership of Sara’s, Ty’s, and Debbie’s

• Mohave CT is majority owned by Devine Holdings, LLC

• Andrew James Simonow held a minority interest

• Mohave’s management includes individuals directly tied to the three dispensaries

In plain terms:

The three businesses that paid into Rojas’ PAC were part of a shared operational and acquisition network

What This Filing Shows; And What It Doesn’t

This filing clearly shows:

• $750 in cannabis-sector funds entering a leadership PAC

• Three identical payments, same date, same structure

• Entities connected through a documented business network

This filing does not prove:

• Illegal conduct
• Direct policy influence
• Any quid pro quo arrangement

The Attorney General settlement explicitly states that all respondents denied the allegations and entered the agreement without admitting liability.

Why This Still Matters

The amount is small.

The pattern is not.

Jason Rojas is not just any elected official. He is the House Majority Leader, a central figure in shaping Connecticut law, including cannabis policy.

And the public record shows:

Multiple cannabis businesses tied to the same network financially engaging with his PAC in a coordinated way

That is not random participation. That is aligned political engagement.

The Bottom Line

This is what the record shows:

• Three cannabis companies
• Same day
• Same dollar amount
• Same fundraising event
• Same underlying business network

All connected to a PAC controlled by one of Connecticut’s most powerful legislators.

That alone does not establish wrongdoing.

But it does establish something equally important:

Access, alignment, and presence inside the political system

And that raises a straightforward question for the public:

When businesses operating within the same cannabis network financially participate in leadership PACs even in small, coordinated amounts what kind of access are they securing?
