About
Falling in love with Ohio
Nan grew up in a small town in Indiana. She learned the values of hard work, strength, and resilience from her dad, a union autoworker who lost his job but never lost his dignity, and her mom, who went to work at the laundromat behind their house to help make ends meet.
Back then, Ohio was where people went for opportunity, so she attended the University of Dayton, becoming the first person in her family to graduate from college. She met her husband, Sam, and fell in love with her adopted hometown, eventually running for City Commission and mayor.
Leading Dayton’s comeback
When Nan was first elected Mayor in 2013, Dayton was at a low point. The factories had moved out and the opioids had moved in. But in Dayton, folks don’t run away from their problems.
Under her leadership, Dayton has turned a corner. She brought folks together to take on the community’s toughest challenges, including tackling the opioid crisis, cutting overdose deaths by half and saving hundreds of lives. She led the fight to take on a broken education system and provide quality pre-k to every three- and four-year-old in the city. Dayton has become vibrant again as new people and businesses move into the city.
When you’re the mayor, you don’t have the luxury of saying, “that’s not my problem.” Over the last two years, Dayton has been tested again and again with crises like a KKK rally, a series of devastating tornadoes, and a senseless mass shooting that left 9 people dead. Each time, Nan stepped up and led her city through its hardest moments.
Let’s build a better Ohio
Now, Nan is running for governor because she knows our state is fundamentally broken and Ohioans deserve better. The same special interests and corrupt politicians have been in charge for 30 years as our state has fallen further behind. Rich campaign donors get rewarded while the rest of us fall further behind. The only answer is a total overhaul.
Nan knows we can build a better Ohio. An Ohio where one job is enough to provide for your family. An Ohio where your kids have real opportunities. An Ohio where everyone — no matter your zip code — can thrive.
About Lieutenant Governor Candidate Cheryl Stephens
While growing up, Cheryl’s family lived across the country and around the world as they followed her father’s career in the Air Force. She considers herself lucky to have found a home in Ohio when her father retired to Wright Patterson Air Force Base outside of Dayton. Cheryl learned the importance of education from her mother, a nurse, and of the perseverance to pursue the American Dream from her father.
Cheryl and Nan firmly believe that the American Dream should be within reach for all Ohioans. That’s why Cheryl has made building affordable housing and creating safe and healthy neighborhoods the focus of her career.
She is currently the Chief Executive Officer of the East Akron Neighborhood Development Corporation (EANDC), which strives to strengthen communities by providing affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization. Cheryl is also the Councilmember for Cuyahoga County District 10, where she focuses on improving county services and increasing investment in local small businesses. Cheryl has previously served the residents of Cleveland Heights as a Councilmember and Mayor.

Vision
Ohio is a state of innovation and creativity. Of inventors and astronauts. We led the last manufacturing revolution and there’s no reason we can’t lead the next one. We have everything it takes.
Nan is ready to give every Ohioan, regardless of what they look like or where they live, a real chance at opportunity. And if we come together, we can create a future where everyone can live up to their potential.
Nan’s message for Ohio is this: She wants your pay to go up, your bills to go down, and your government to work for you.
Democracy & Governance
Nan’s Plan to Combat Corruption & Restore Ethics in Ohio
Ohio is at a crossroads. Decades of Republican control of state government has led to scandal after scandal. More often than not, the same politicians, lobbyists, and GOP consultants re-appear in each new abuse of power, but never face repercussions. Each scandal seems worse than the last, but the basic formula stays the same: Republican elected officials enriching themselves and their allies while the rest of us foot the bill. This culture of corruption has culminated in the most egregious scandal in Ohio’s history, and the biggest statehouse scandal in the country: the $61 million HB 6 bribery and racketeering scheme that reaches the highest levels of Ohio government.
These scandals — from Coingate, to ECOT, to HB 6 — are devastating for our state. Not only do they undermine confidence in our government as a force for good, but they literally cost Ohioans money through misdirected funds and increased costs.
Republican politicians like Governor Mike DeWine have looked the other way while Ohio has become the worst state in the country for public corruption. They have personally and politically benefited from this broken, pay-to-play culture and are too weak to stand up to it. If Gov. DeWine or other Republicans had the power or the will to fix these problems, we would have seen action by now.
Enough is enough. Nan Whaley is running for Governor to clean up this mess and restore public trust.
Economy & Jobs
Invest in Ohio: Nan Whaley’s 21st Century Jobs Plan
The story of America’s 20th Century is the story of Ohio. People came here for opportunity — immigrants from abroad, migrants from Appalachia and the Jim Crow South. We were home to inventors like the Wright Brothers, Garrett Morgan, and Thomas Edison, and pioneering companies like National Cash Register, Goodyear Rubber, and Republic Steel. Good, union jobs in manufacturing built our middle class and the natural resources, transportation, and supply chains supporting these industries ensured this prosperity stretched all over our state.
But for thirty years, our political leaders have allowed Ohio to fall further and further behind, choosing complacency over tough, honest conversations about the future of our state.
Ohio is at a crossroads. The world is changing — new industries and technologies are creating the good-paying jobs of the future. We can either adapt and change with it, or be left behind.
Nan is running for governor because she believes Ohio deserves better. We deserve a state where one good job is enough to provide for our families; where our kids and grandkids have opportunities; where we lead the nation in innovation.
This new Ohio can do even better than we have in the past, ensuring that the benefits of good jobs are available to everyone, no matter their race, sex, or zip code. To get there we have to be laser focused on growing the jobs of the 21st Century, supporting Ohio entrepreneurs, and raising wages for all Ohioans.
Ohio’s people are at the center of its economy — how Ohio’s people are doing around their kitchen tables each day is what matters most to Nan. That’s why Ohio’s families are at the heart of Nan’s jobs policy.

Inflation Rebate
$350 to Ease the Burden of Rising Costs on Middle-Class Ohioans
Ohioans are seeing the cost of nearly everything increase – from record-high gas prices to increasing costs for groceries and other necessities like baby formula. As Governor, Nan would fight to make Ohioans’ bills go down and their pay go up. That’s why Nan and Cheryl have a plan to help Ohioans struggling with increased costs by sending an inflation rebate of $350 to every middle-class Ohioan.
Ohio is set to receive $2.68 billion in the next round of federal funding from the American Rescue Plan. Nan proposes the State of Ohio should use that money to help struggling Ohio families deal with increased costs in their everyday lives. The rebate would go to roughly 7.4 million Ohioans, the same individuals who received federal stimulus checks, and which accounts for 89 percent of adults in the state. Individuals making up to $80,000 a year or couples making $160,000 a year or under would be eligible to receive the rebate, at $350 or $700, respectively.
The truth is, while some politicians try to divide and distract us, Ohio families are being gouged by big corporations. While working people are struggling to keep up with rising costs, corporate profits are hitting record highs. CEO pay grew 31% in 2021. It’s not right. We need to make an investment in Ohioans by putting money back in their pockets and this inflation rebate would do just that.
Health & Education
Strengthen K–12 Schools, Make Preschool Universal, and Make Higher Ed Affordable
Nan knows that the greatest investment we can make is in our children. When she became mayor of Dayton, it was clear the city needed to plot a new path forward for its kids to be able to break out of poverty and to compete in the 21st Century economy. Most mayors in Ohio don’t control local school districts, including Dayton, but the data showed that Dayton children were entering kindergarten unprepared and that a lack of childcare options was a huge burden for families.
Nan brought together the ingenuity of business, community, and education leaders to figure out a solution. In 2016, Dayton voters approved their plan to fund universal, high-quality preschool for every four year old in the city. It has been so successful that this summer, it was expanded to include all 3 year olds in the city. In just a few short years, we’ve already seen significant improvement in Dayton students.
As governor, Nan will keep this same focus on education. She’ll work to strengthen our K-12 schools and maintain hard-fought funding reforms — our system is designed so that Ohio’s governor has more power to impact local schools, something Mike DeWine has failed to do. Using Dayton’s Preschool Promise as a model, she’ll make high-quality, universal preschool available to all Ohio kids. And she’ll fight to make community college and trade schools more affordable and accessible so that every Ohioan can get the skills they need to succeed.
Paid Family Leave and Keep Kids Safe in School
Growing up, Nan’s dad got laid off from his job at a GM plant. Her mom had to go to work at the laundromat behind their house to help make ends meet. That experience has made her believe in her bones that when we talk about the economy, we have to talk about people, not numbers and statistics. Ohio’s people are at the center of its economy — how Ohio’s people are doing around their kitchen tables each day is what matters the most. That’s why Ohio’s families are at the heart of every decision she makes.
No matter where you live or what you look like, no one should have to choose between paying their bills and taking care of their kids or family members. The COVID-19 crisis made this even more clear. Too many Ohio families are just one illness or injury away from financial disaster. This has to change. Under Nan’s leadership, Dayton was the first major Ohio city to offer paid parental leave for municipal employees. As governor, she’ll fight for paid family leave for all Ohioans.
Lowering Drug Prices
Nan’s Plan to Lower Prescription Drug Prices
No Ohioan should have to choose between keeping food on the table and paying for life-saving medicine, no matter where they live in our state. Yet for too many, and for too long, the prescription drugs they need are being priced out of their reach, while wealthy drug companies are seeing record profits. Research has shown that drug prices in the United States are two to three times higher than other developed countries and that the increase in prices has not been driven by any clinical evidence, all while drug company CEOs line their pockets with increased profits.
Nan knows this is unacceptable and that’s why, once elected, she’ll fight to lower drug prices for Ohio families.
Human Rights
Defend Abortion Rights in Ohio
Ohio Republicans have made it clear that they’ll ban abortion in our state — which is why, now more than ever, Ohio needs a pro-choice Democratic Governor. If the majority on the U.S. Supreme Court gets their way, the next Governor of Ohio may be the last line of defense protecting abortion rights in our state. As Governor, Nan will never waiver on her commitment to choice.
When Ohio’s medically unnecessary transfer agreement threatened to shutter the Dayton-area Women’s Med Center, Nan worked with community members, doctors, and lawyers to set up a variance agreement so that abortions could resume. She believes that actions speak louder than words — and that’s why she’s proud to be the only candidate in this race, Republican or Democrat, who has always stood up for Ohioans’ right to choose.

Public Safety
Gun Safety
Nan’s Plan for Commonsense Gun Safety
No matter where you live in Ohio, you deserve to feel safe. But for too many people, gun violence makes them fear going to school, the grocery store, or just walking down the street. Nan knows first hand the devastating impact gun violence can have on a community. As the Mayor of Dayton, she had to lead her city through a senseless mass shooting that took nine lives. As governor, Nan is committed to finally “Do Something” to make our communities more safe.
Again and again, Gov. Mike DeWine has ignored police, teachers, and gun safety advocates by signing dangerous bills like Stand Your Ground, permitless concealed carry, and arming teachers. Nan will work to repeal these dangerous bills and pass commonsense laws like universal background checks and red flag laws.
Keeping Our Promise to Ohio’s Veterans
Ohio has one of the highest populations of veterans in the United States, and we owe these men and women more than a day of recognition each November — we owe them our full support in their return to civilian life through all its phases: reentry, community choice, job search, family support, and aging. Just as Ohio is a location of choice for defense facilities and bases — Wright Patterson Air Force Base, ISC Cleveland Coast Guard Base, and Youngstown-Warren Air Reserve Station — we must become a location of choice for veterans when it is time for them to leave service.
Nan’s policy is guided by the belief that all veterans living in are Ohio are entitled to:
- The right to live in health and age with dignity;
- The right to a job and the tools to thrive;
- The right to shelter and housing;
- The right to justice.
Under Nan’s leadership as Governor, Ohio will once again honor its sacred obligation to our veterans and their families.
Environment & Energy
Protect Ohio’s Natural Resources and Invest in Clean Energy Jobs
As the mayor of Dayton, Nan has fought to protect the region’s drinking water from polluters. As governor, she will fight to protect Ohio’s environment to ensure that our kids have access to clean water, clean air, and clean jobs. Our natural resources helped create the prosperity our state saw in the 20th Century, but often at great costs to local communities. Nan has signed on to the Marshall Plan for Middle America, a regional roadmap to drive equitable infrastructure development in the Ohio Valley, and is committed to ensuring that the clean energy jobs of the future are available all across Ohio, especially in Appalachia.
In addition to increasing electricity bills for Ohio families and businesses, the corrupt House Bill 6 also gutted Ohio’s renewable energy standards. This is unacceptable. As governor, Nan will fight to fully repeal this awful law and put these standards back in place so that Ohio is positioned to thrive in the new clean energy economy. She’ll stand up to extremist politicians and make sure that the technology of the future is built right here in Ohio.
Investing in Ohio’s Appalachian Communities
Ohio’s true power and vibrancy comes from its communities, and those communities must be at the center of state policy and budget priorities. Appalachian Ohio has not seen investment at scale for over 50 years and has suffered population losses throughout the region. As Governor, Nan would make it a priority to build a true partnership between the state and local governments, so that we can finally give Appalachia the investment it deserves.
The core tenets of Nan’s plan to invest in Appalachian Ohio include:
- Fulfilling the Broadband Promise: Universal broadband in Appalachia by 2028
- Addressing the opioid crisis
- Building a powerful base for Appalachian jobs and innovation
- Supporting our veterans

Nannette L. Whaley (/ˈweɪli/; born January 23, 1976) is an American politician who served as the 56th mayor of Dayton, Ohio, from 2014 to 2022. A member of the Democratic Party, she was first elected to the mayorship in November 2013, after serving on the city commission for two terms.[1][2] Whaley presided over the United States Conference of Mayors from 2021 to 2022. She was the Democratic nominee in the 2022 Ohio gubernatorial election,[3][4] losing to incumbent Mike DeWine.
Early life and education
Whaley grew up in Indiana, but she has lived in Ohio since attending the University of Dayton from 1994 to 1998, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry.[5][6] In college, Whaley was the Ohio chair of the College Democrats of America.[7] Whaley is also a four-time delegate to the Democratic National Convention, worked for John Kerry‘s presidential campaign, and served as a presidential elector.[1] Whaley later earned a Master of Public Administration in urban studies from Wright State University.[6][8]
During the 2000 presidential election, Whaley was an Ohio state co-chair of GoreNet.[9] GoreNet was a group that supported the Al Gore campaign with a focus on grassroots and online organizing as well as hosting small dollar donor events.[10]
Career
Whaley was first elected to the Dayton City Commission in 2005. She was one of the youngest women chosen for a commission seat. Whaley served on the Montgomery County Board of Elections and as a deputy to Montgomery County Auditor Karl Keith.[7][11] Whaley was elected mayor of Dayton in 2013, winning 56 percent of the vote.[12] In 2017, she was unopposed for reelection, making it the first uncontested mayoral race in the city’s history since voters have elected the office separately.[13] Before her election as mayor she served on Greater Ohio’s Community Revitalization Committee, the Learn to Earn Executive Committee for Education, the Montgomery County Planning Commission and the Dayton Access Television Board of Trustees.[7]

Economic development
Early in her time in office, Whaley founded the Dayton Region Manufacturing Task Force, which is “a regional effort committed to advocating for manufacturing and promoting a strong manufacturing workforce.”[14] Initiatives like this and a surge of high tech and research jobs have spurred $600,000,000 in investment in the region.[15][16] During Whaley’s term, the unemployment rate in the City of Dayton declined from 9.3% to 5.5%.[17] In 2015, Site Selection magazine named Dayton, which has strong economic ties to the nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the overall second-best mid-sized city for new business expansion projects in the nation.[18]
Opioids
In response to a statewide surge in opioid-related drug overdoses, Whaley declared a citywide state of emergency and developed a needle exchange program. Dayton also began to ensure that first-responders had access to the overdose-reversal drug naloxone.[19] Whaley has been consistently critical of the Government of Ohio for failing to adequately fund opioid treatment and recovery programs.[20] In 2017, Dayton was the fourth city in the country to sue the pharmaceutical companies, opioid drug distributors and physicians they say are responsible for Ohio’s opioid addiction and overdose crisis.[21]
City of Learners and the Preschool Promise
The City of Learners initiative was launched by Whaley in early 2014 as a citywide effort to support Dayton’s schools and students. A committee of community leaders and volunteers identified five areas of community focus: ensure all children attend a high quality school, ensure high quality preschool is offered to all children, increase business partnerships with schools, provide mentors to more children, and expand sites for after school and summer learning.[22]
In 2016, the City of Dayton voters passed a 0.25% income tax increase to support critical city services and to offer 1 year of affordable, quality Preschool to all Dayton families with a 4-year-old. This move institutionalized Preschool Promise in Dayton and provides sustained funding.[23]
Downtown revitalization
Whaley has placed significant emphasis on reviving the economy and culture of the Downtown Dayton area. As of 2015, she has drawn in over $200,000,000 in downtown investments and in a refocus of the region into new ventures; she has focused especially on the Arcade Building.[15] As a result of some new renewal efforts, new businesses have begun to move into the downtown area, including a number of small businesses and startups.[24][25][26]
Cycling and Housing
As a previous board member of the Bike Walk Dayton Committee, Whaley has taken significant steps towards making Dayton a bicycle friendly community. For instance, her administration oversaw the implementation of Dayton’s first Bike Share program in 2015.[27] She is also a strong advocate for a county-wide landbank system to address the region’s housing crisis with a more regional approach and serves on the Montgomery County Landbank Board.[28]
2019 mass shooting
After a mass shooting occurred on August 4, 2019, she and Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown accompanied President Donald Trump on a visit with survivors at the local hospital.[29] Ten people were killed, including the perpetrator; and twenty-seven were injured.[30] She joined over 200 mayors in encouraging Congress to act on gun control legislation that is already before them. The group included Dee Margo, the mayor of El Paso, Texas, where a shooting occurred the day before.[31] According to Dayton NAACP President Derrick Foward, Whaley received the Dayton Unit NAACP Community Service Award for the leadership she provided in guiding the City of Dayton through the violent and horrific mass shooting that took place in the Historic Oregon District.
Gubernatorial elections
2018
Ahead of the 2018 election cycle, Whaley considered a run for Congress before declaring her candidacy for governor of Ohio.[32] On May 8, 2017, Whaley announced that she was running for governor in the 2018 election on a platform of job creation.[33] She dropped out of the race on January 12, 2018, and endorsed Richard Cordray.[34]
2022
On April 19, 2021, Whaley announced her candidacy in the 2022 Ohio gubernatorial election.[35] She faced former Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley for the Democratic nomination to be Governor of Ohio. On May 3, Whaley won the Democratic primary election and became the Democratic nominee for Ohio Governor.[36] This made her the first woman to win a major party nomination to run for governor of Ohio and, because she was running with Cheryl Stephens, part of the first all-female ticket nominated by a major party for governor and lieutenant governor in that state.[37] Whaley and Stephens lost the race to incumbent Mike DeWine getting 37.2% of votes to DeWine’s 62.8%. Whaley gave her concession speech on November 8, 2022, in Dayton, Ohio.[38]
Personal life
In 1998, she settled in the Five Oaks neighborhood in Dayton where she and her husband Sam reside today.[6]
