It was great to speak at the Iowa Letter Carriers Convention yesterday, where I emphasized my commitment to protecting the right to vote by mail and promised to be a strong partner in their tireless work to deliver that mail. I am so honored to have their support in this race.

It was great to join KFJB the other day and talk about the need for more public servants in office. Folks who are there to actually serve, and make lives better for Iowans.

Spent the day yesterday down in the far SW corner of Iowa. So many great conversations with folks in Montgomery, Page, Mills and Fremont County.

It’s been great getting out around Southern Iowa these last few days! With just 45 days until Election Day, I’m traveling across the state, meeting with Iowans and sharing my vision for the future of Iowa.

Ryan Peterman @petermanforiowa.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I was glad to see the Supreme Court strike down attempts to make major changes to absentee voting. This would have caused chaos for service members, students, rural voters, and so many other working Iowans who vote by mail.

The Supreme Court just struck down a rule that would have made major changes mail-in voting. This is a win for Iowa voters, thanks to the states across the country who fought back against this rule. But Paul Pate refused to join them in standing up for Iowans. We deserve better.

Ryan Peterman @petermanforiowa.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Paul Pate could have joined these Secretaries of State who are fighting back against the attacks on mail-in voting. Instead, he’s once again doing nothing to protect our right to vote. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

On the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, we remember those we lost, and the bravery and sacrifice of so many Americans on that day and in its aftermath. Let us never forget.

I was honored to walk the picket line with UAW members in Cedar Rapids who have been on strike for nearly 2 months now. These workers deserve a fair contract. I will always stand with working Iowans in their fight against corporate greed.

After the parade yesterday we made our way over to Labor Day picnics in Iowa City and Burlington. It was great spending the afternoon and evening with so many incredible, hardworking Iowans.

Ryan Peterman @petermanforiowa.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Happy Labor Day! It was great to join the Letter Carriers in the Des Moines parade this morning, and honor all of the workers and unions who built this country and keep it moving every single day.

These attempts to change our election systems just 2 months before Election Day do nothing to help with security, but do everything to create chaos. No matter what happens, it’s crucial that you still get out and vote, and have your voice heard.

“If you build it, he will come” — but only if you vote! Today is the first day to request an absentee ballot in Iowa, so if you plan to vote by mail make sure you request an absentee ballot ASAP! Head to petermanforiowa.com/election-resources/ to find the request form.

Iowans can begin requesting mail-in ballots tomorrow, but the people in power are desperately trying to re-write the rules just 72 days before Election Day in order to stay in power. We won’t let them win. www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme...

It’s now been one month since we submitted records requests to Paul Pate’s office, demanding information about why he handed our personal information over. Iowans deserve answers before they head to the polls.

It was great to speak at this year’s Iowa Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO Convention. I’m honored to have their support in this race.

Ryan Peterman @petermanforiowa.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Whether it’s supporting changes that make it harder for us to vote, or handing over our personal information, it’s clear that Paul Pate has forgotten who he works for.

Ryan Peterman @petermanforiowa.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

It was great speaking at the State Fair soapbox about my vision for Iowa. We deserve a Secretary of State who knows they work for Iowans. That’s the kind of leadership I’ll bring to the office. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

Had a great time up in Dubuque last night chatting with the Pints and Diplomacy podcast. Talked about my time in the Navy, and what I plan to do as Secretary of State. We may have gone off the rails a few times too…

2017: Paul Pate refused to give sensitive voter data to the federal government. 2026: Paul Pate willingly handed over your personal information. What changed?

Ryan Peterman @petermanforiowa.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

I spent my career in the Navy as a nonpartisan, and that’s something I took extremely seriously. That’s the same approach I’ll lead with if I’m elected Secretary of State.

Ryan Peterman @petermanforiowa.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

ICYMI: Last week I requested information from the Secretary of State’s office about why he gave our personal information away. I hope Paul Pate will comply, because Iowans deserve answers. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2026/07/22/r...

Today I’m announcing my Public Service Agenda, to ensure the Secretary of State’s office actually serves Iowans. Public service was at the forefront of my career in the Navy, and it will be as Secretary of State too. Read the full plan here: petermanforiowa.com/public-servi...

Earlier this year, Secretary of State Paul Pate handed our personal data over to the Department of Justice. Today, I filed open records requests with his office to demand answers about why he did this. One thing is clear already: Paul Pate is working for his party insiders. I will work for you.

Great morning at the Walcott Day parade! Even got to meet the legendary Willie Walcott.

Ryan Peterman @petermanforiowa.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

These scare tactics are just a way for the most powerful politicians to stay in power. It’s an effort to cause further chaos and distrust in our elections. That’s not the kind of leadership Iowans need.

000

Ryan Peterman @petermanforiowa.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Iowans deserve transparency into what happened to their sensitive data. We deserve accountability. And at the end of the day, Iowans deserve a Secretary of State who stands up for them.

Ryan Peterman @petermanforiowa.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Whether it’s advocating for more restrictive voting laws, or handing over our sensitive personal information, it’s clear that it’s time for new leadership here in Iowa. cbs2iowa.com/news/local/s...
