The Matriots is a nonpartisan political action committee dedicated to increasing women’s participation in the political process at all levels of government in Ohio. We endorse and support women candidates who share our values and demonstrate the vision and ability to conduct a robust, competitive campaign.

Our Beliefs

» The well-being of our families, communities, and country is directly impacted by the economic independence, health and safety of women. Key factors in ensuring the health and safety of women are the values of economic empowerment, equity and independence, dominion over their bodies, access to education, and the ability to live and rear children in a healthy, safe and prosperous environment.  

» As this country’s majority gender, chief consumers, and lead caregivers of our families, women must support legislation and public policy to control their own well-being and that of their families. Political participation is key to achieving this.

» Women-friendly policy and legislation are vital to good government and will provide a healthy way forward from our present political stalemate.

» We believe that not to act is to act.
