Riley Gaines
Riley Gaines, a 12 time All-American swimmer with 5 SEC titles was a successful female swimmer at University of Kentucky with ambitions to pursue a dental degree. That post-graduate ambition and her entire life was changed when she was forced to share a locker room and then compete against biological male Lia Thomas at the 2022 NCAA Women’s Swimming Championship. This uneven challenge was made even more traumatic when the NCAA officials insisted on giving Lia Thomas the trophy, despite tying Riley down to the hundredth of a second in the event. This moment became her call to action – to defend and protect America’s daughters against the woke left and their gender-denying ideology. Riley has since become a powerful advocate for conservative causes, including the sanctity of life and the protection of the most vulnerable, especially women. She is committed to preserving fairness and equality for women in all areas of life.
