Now running for State Senate, Drake brings with her a host of accomplishments from the Assembly, including sitting as the ranking Democrat on the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee and working on bills related to healthcare access and small business support. She also authored or co-sponsored bills increasing consumer protection, reforming the criminal justice system, and protecting our democracy.

Jodi is a strong supporter of women's reproductive rights who has pledged to prioritize quality public schools and to keep our communities safe.
