Hon. Capri S Cafaro spent a decade in public service as a member of the Ohio Senate. Prior to being term limited in 2016, Senator Cafaro was elected by her peers to serve as the Minority Leader of the Ohio Senate, a position she held for 3 years. During her term as Leader, Cafaro was on the front lines of some of the toughest budget negotiations Ohio had seen in decades due to the national economic crisis at the time. Cafaro has passed numerous bills into law, focusing her efforts on economic development, transportation and logistics infrastructure, health care and victim’s rights. She authored the law that created Ohio’s Development Service Agency and its tourism bureau, TourismOhio, Ohio’s Medicaid reform law and the law that establishes the protocol to clear the rape kit backlog in Ohio. Cafaro was also involved in national state legislative organizations including serving as a vice chair of the Transportation Committee of the National Association of State Legislators and as a member of the U.S.-Canadian Relations Committee in the Council of State Governments.
