The Matriots PAC Endorses Nan Whaley

The Matriots PAC has endorsed Nan Whaley for Governor!

We are thrilled to support Nan Whaley as she seeks to bring change that will uplift Ohio women and families, alongside previously Matriots endorsed-elected Cheryl Stephens, Class of 2020. 

Matriots believe that key factors in ensuring the health and safety of women are economic empowerment, equity and independence, dominion over our bodies, access to education, and the ability to live and rear children in a healthy, safe, and prosperous environment. We know that as your next governor, Nan will lift women’s voices and focus on creating an economy where women can thrive and prosper. 

Nan has built partnerships across Dayton to make the city safer, more resilient, and more inclusive. She understands the need to center families, caregivers, and all women in decision-making. She has gained international accolades for her pioneering work in ensuring all Dayton children have access to universal preschool and a quality education from birth to career. 

I’m honored to receive the support of The Matriots PAC. We know that we need to run a different kind of campaign and candidate if we’re going to win in November and make Ohio a place where everyone, regardless of their zip code, has the opportunity to thrive. What better way to do that than by electing Ohio’s first woman governor and two former mayors who know how to get the job done?

– Nan Whaley

As a member of The Matriots, you’re helping us realize our mission: to get more women to run for and win elected office, leading to a healthy economy for women in Ohio. Now is the time to take action. Now is the time to elect women. 

Ever onward, 

Emily Quick Schriver
Chief Executive Officer
