Dora Drake

Dora Elizabeth Drake (born March 1993) is an American community advocate and Democratic politician from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

She was accepted into Marquette University's Educational Opportunities Program and graduated with her bachelor's degree in Social Welfare and Justice in 2015.

[1][3] Following the campaign, Drake was employed at the Center for Self Sufficiency, which assists formerly incarcerated people with family support and reentry services.

[16] Although entitled to begin her term as senator any time after winning the July 2024 special election, Drake delayed taking office until December 19, 2024, so that she would not have to resign her seat in the Assembly.

[17] The tactical timing of Drake's Assembly departure allowed Democrats to prevent Republicans from achieving a brief veto-proof super-majority in the Legislature.
