Not long after taking the reins in the House, Drazan got an opportunity to show how far she’d go to reclaim GOP influence. In February 2020, Democrats had teed up a key piece of unfinished business: a bill to cap greenhouse gas emissions in the state, and lower that cap over time in a bid to fight human-caused climate change.
