Class of 2021

Meet The Women Running to Change the Face of Leadership in Northeast Ohio 

We are thrilled to share with you our Class of 2021 Matriots-endorsed candidates in Northeast Ohio. 

Our Northeast Ohio endorsement and research teams have been hard at work for the past six weeks, researching and screening candidates running in races across Northeast Ohio. Below you will find 15 candidates running in historic mayoral and city council races across Cleveland, Cleveland Heights, Garfield Heights, and Lakewood. 

Thirteen of these women are running in tough primaries, and they will need our support to advance to the general election. At a time when only 28% of city council members and 13% of city mayoral positions in Ohio are held by women, we need to support women candidates who will promote a healthy economy in which women can thrive and prosper. Women account for over half of the U.S. population, and it is past time that we had a seat at the table. 

Please join us in supporting, encouraging, and most importantly, voting for these women in September!
