Catelin Drey (born 1987/1988) is an American politician. A member of the Democratic Party, she is a member of the Iowa Senate from the first district. She won a special election to the Iowa Senate in 2025.
Drey is from North Dakota. She moved to Sioux City, Iowa, to attend Morningside University. Drey founded Moms for Iowa, a grassroots parent-led advocacy organization, and has been involved in various local organizations and charities, serving as a past president of the Siouxland Growth Organization.
In June 2025, incumbent state senator Rocky De Witt died of cancer, and a special election was called for August 26 later that year. Drey announced a campaign focused on accessible childcare, funding public education, protecting bodily autonomy, and supporting economic equality. She faced Republican nominee Christopher Prosch, and won by a 10-point margin. She also received more financial support than Prosch, with $260,000 in total funds, including $165,000 in campaign contributions, compared to Prosch total of $181,000, including $20,000 via donors. Drey's victory in the special election ended the supermajority Iowa Senate Republicans had previously held. She also expressed interest in running for a full four-year term.
On September 15, 2025, she was sworn in by Iowa Supreme Court Justice Matthew McDermott.
Drey resides in Sioux City, Iowa, with her husband and their one child.
