About Ryan
Ryan Peterman is running for Iowa Secretary of State to protect voting rights and ensure every eligible Iowan can participate in our democracy. He believes the Secretary of State's office should serve all Iowa voters, not partisan interests.
Peterman is concerned about recent efforts to make it harder for Iowans to vote and wants to restore trust in Iowa's election system. He supports common-sense measures to expand voter access while maintaining election security and integrity.
As Secretary of State, Peterman will fight to modernize voter registration, increase transparency in campaign finance, and protect Iowa's tradition of accessible, fair elections.
